Prior to undergo photo therapy at kk wd 32, a photo by Nor Salman on Flickr.

On his first week's birthday, Idris jaundice level was found to be very high. The threshold was 260, his was at 330. It was heart wrenching to say the least. We could not have imagine to go home without him but we did. It was a quiet trip back. Tried to console ourselves that it could have been worse.
We met another couple there whose daughter's jaundice level rose even after treatment. We wished him the best as we did not meet them again.

This is us, bringing Idris to enjoy some sun. He was awake since half past 5 this morning, choosing to fool around rather than falling back to sleep. I played with him until half past 8 when I really have get up. Wan was late because of traffic and thus we get to enjoy a bit of family time together.

That is Idris and Su. Sleeping soundly by each other's side. Ever protecting. His sleeping pattern is waking up every one and half to two hours, to feed. And then he will go back to sleep again.

This is a picture of us, sans Adam outside KK ward 32. This is just before we hand over Idris to the nurse for his photo therapy. I think this was when he was 1 week old. Its not clear from the picture, but we were crying. His level was at 330. The threshold was 260.

Hi, I know you!

Today is the 19th. That should mean that Idris is 12 days old. I guess, this should be the time when he starts to be able to recognise the people around him.

On his first week birthday, Idris's jaundice level was found to be very high, at 330. He was then referred to KK hospital. He was admitted for two nights and was discharged when his jaundice level was at 186.
Parents were not allowed to be in the nursery with but was allowed to visit. It was a very heart-wrenching period of our lives, to be separated from our new born.

This picture was taken by Su, showing Adam holding Idris for the first time in 24 hours. This was also the firstn time he said "I missed you" to his younger brother.
