Nikau has spent 24 hours under special lights because he is jaundiced. His blood tests were good this morning and he has to have another blood test tonight at 6pm, to make sure he's still ok now that he's not under the special lights. If these tests are good we can go home tonight. We have all got our fingers crossed. Last night Tanya had to feed Nikau every two hours and I topped him up with her milk using a syringe. We had to give him as much milk as possible to flush the jaundice out if his system. Then we had to put him in his little bed under the special lights. He drank so much milk that he looked like he was drunk! Here are some photos of Nikau under the special light and sleeping under his special Allblacks blanket.
