My baby granddaughter

Because she was a bit early coming into the world she has developed a good case of jaundice. Most babies get it, but all things considered the doctors have decided to keep her in intensive care under the lights for 3-5 more days. To say my daughter is distraught is putting it mildly, and she is being discharged tomorrow. I understand what it’s like because I had to leave the first three of my four kids behind when I left the hospital for the very same reason. When the last one was born, in the days where the mom stayed at least three days, I sweet talked my doctors into letting me go home after a day and a half, knowing it was just a matter of time until the baby became noticeably jaundiced. He was the only baby I got to bring home with me, and it was during a blizzard.

Other than that I have nothing to report. I took my truck for an oil change and check-up this afternoon, and all is well. I am glad I was able to make time for that while I’m here because I really like the shop and owner, the same one I went to back in January.

I will be returning to Lassen on Saturday morning, so I will be around for another day. Thanks to all the readers who have stayed with me over this past quiet period. I’ll try to get to a place where I can post once in a while when I go back.
