Rachel, Thanks for your input. As far as I know the lab numbers were correct as subsequent levels were still high. They did measure direct/indirect bili (conjugated/unconjugated)and the conjugated bili was near 1.0. There was no trauma noted as in hematomas etc. Also as far as I know there was no excessively high H/H. It just seems to me that the baby needs further workup as to 'why' this occurred. Anyway if it was my baby I sure would want an explanation. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
