My little one, born so small at thirty-two weeks, got that yellowish tinge because her liver wasn't quite ready to clear the bilirubin from her blood. They pricked her tiny heel to test it, and the phototherapy lamp? It was like a special blue glow that helped break that bilirubin down so her body could get rid of it. But I'll tell you, all the charts and numbers the doctors showed us felt less real than just watching her sleep under that light, willing her skin to lose that yellow, one long NICU day at a time.
