Proof that Orangeblood is toxic! ;)


Well, one thing has popped up on Jack Henry is that the doctors noticed that he was jaundiced. This is very common for all babies, but in particular with preemies, they have to shed their in utero red blood cells (bilirubin) to make room for their post natal red blood cells.

This means that Jack Henry looks a bit orange, which we all know is bad. :) So with a blue-tinted light for the next couple days to mimic the sun (hence the eye covers), he will get to be more maroon or normal colored.
