Please be in prayer for Calla. Her jaundice has become more severe, and the doctor has ordered a special "tanning bed" to keep at home to treat it. She will be under the lights 24 hours a day except feeding and diaper changes. Poor baby. And a nurse will come over every day to draw blood. As soon as the blood test comes back good, then she will be done with her therapy. The blood draw is very sad for us, as she has had 2 days in a row of this, which causes her to be hysterical and is very hard to watch. Our prayer is for little Calla's body to be healed with minimal treatment, that God will sustain her through this and help her to still feel loved and comforted despite minimal time we can hold her. We also pray for our own response to this trial, that we would honor the Lord as we give this situation over to Him, since He is the ultimate Healer and holds her little life in the power of His sovereignty.
On a happier note, Calla has gained weight since yesterday, and she did very well at her first doctor's appointment! The picture below is for Cousin Audrey, who wanted to see Calla with her eyes opened! I haven't even seen her eyes very much, especially since she's been sleeping so much!
We included a few other pics to brag on our adorable baby!

She is SO cute!! She doesn't even look all smooshed like a newborn:) So glad that you were able to get the bed put in your home, although I know it can be hard to not be able to hold her all the time. We are praying for you guys!!
Much love,
Steph
