“We had hoped to be able to go home today, but unfortunately his values had risen slightly,” writes Florine in an Instagram Story. “How depressing.”
Fortunately, it is now clear to Florine and her husband Jeroen what exactly is happening to their newborn son. ‘I have blood type O+ and Don has blood type B+. As a result, I created antibodies in her body during my pregnancy, which made the values so high in the first days of her life,” explains Florine.
The values that need to be lowered are decreasing due to the light therapy Don is now receiving. “If this is below a certain limit and it stays there for at least 24 hours, we can go home. Let’s hope it’s tomorrow,’ Real Gooische Moeder said. “So he’ll be fine and that’s a very nice thought.”
Meanwhile, Florine misses her other son, Bear, dearly. He has consciously chosen not to let him come to the hospital for a long time, because it could cause confusion for him if he has to leave his mother there again.
