Little Mikael continues to grow! :)
He is just such a great blessing and gift from God to his mamma and pappa- and to all who meet him!
Mamma, pappa and **Ouma noticed this week that Mikael is VERY yellow. The nurse recommended that we go to the hospital just to check.
Ouma Naomi left this week to go back to South Africa! Mamma will miss her VERY much! Ouma and Oupa plan to come visit in December, YIPPPEEEE!!!!
When we went to the hospital the doctors said that he is too yellow, well actually orange, and told us that Mikael and mamma will have to stay at the hospital without pappa!!! Mamma was very nervous about that as everyone speaks Ukrainian at the hospital. Mamma can't even understand them- but stay we had to. They put a lamp on Mikael's belly and switched to his back. (Mikael LOVED sleeping on his belly, mamma was really nervous though) We did this for an hour and a half/ 2 hours at a time between feedings. Mikael was so good and patient with everyone fussing over the lamp, waking him to check his temperature, weighing him, etc.
The REAL shock though was that at the hospital we got to know that Mikael is being under fed and that he has lost too much weight! He was born at 3.100kg and now today he weighed only 2.940kg!!! So we are going to work hard on that for the next week! :)
**Ouma means grandma and Oupa means grandpa in Afrikaans
