Re: phototherapy brief interruption

[Guest guest]

Barbara, I would have had a hard time sleeping myself. I cannot tell you how

much I appreciate this group where I am not the only one who frets when parents

are facing a difficult situation. We don't do " 9-5 " and this is one of the

prices we pay, but, oh.. its satisfying to see how empowered the parents become

when encouraged, especially when its late in the day and no one else is open. So

glad that the mom listened to you and that they are STS!

Celina (who was up every two hours three weeks ago when a client sent a txt late

at night saying baby had lost weight in the previous 24 hrs... I was on the

phone with her in a heartbeat to say - " feed the baby " and knew she was

discouraged to beat all. My husband thinks I take these situations much too much

to heart.)
