Although
it looks like I'm having the sickest solo rave party in the city, I'm actually
receiving a vital therapy for what's called "hyperbilirubinemia" aka Jaundice.
Its
caused when my liver breaks down my red blood cells but doesnt flush out the
byproducts quick enough leaving the resulting yellow pigmentation to affect my
skin and eyes.
Its
pretty common in Preemie's like me, and usually resolves on its own. But blue light therapy is one of the most
common treatments to accelerate recovery. Lucky for me, my condition cleared
within 48 hours of my treatment.
Now I'm back to being my gorgeous self; jaundice free!
