Three days? :/

[JonathanBelles]

thats horrible. 3 days? Is it her mother they are looking for?

thats horrible. 3 days? Is it her mother they are looking for?

No, it's a woman who came into the hospital dressed as a worker there. Probably someone who was pregnant but lost it, and is now trying to pass this one off as hers.

[GalvestonDuck]

I was in a patient's room when I heard about this on their TV.

We have special emblem on ID badges here at UTMB and only those with the emblem may remove a child from a unit, like to walk around in the play area or for tests, etc. I, for example, don't have it because I don't work in pediatrics or with pedi patients. They had something similar at UK in their children's hospital.

Wonder why others don't do that as well.

[GalvestonDuck]

Just caught something that I missed the first time: And the baby may be jaundiced?

I hope they find her so she can be monitored and received the medical attention she needs!

[JonathanBelles]

I should know this but what does jaundiced mean?

I should know this but what does jaundiced mean?

Jaundice, also known as icterus (attributive adjective: "icteric"), is a yellowing of the skin, conjunctiva (clear covering over the sclera, or whites of the eyes) and mucous membranes caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the human body (or the body of another red blooded animal). Usually the concentration of bilirubin in the blood must exceed 2–3 mg/dL for the coloration to be easily visible. Jaundice comes from the French word jaune, meaning yellow. Jaundice typically appears in a 'top to bottom' progression (starting with the face, progressing toward the feet), and resolves in a 'bottom to top' manner.

I should have done that myself lol I get all of that and yet I didnt get what jaundiced meant.

[tropicana]

ok..this might be a little more simple...

If you’ve ever had a bruise, you may have noticed that the skin went through a series of color changes as it healed. When you saw yellow in the bruise, you were seeing bilirubin.

Normally, about 1% of our red blood cells retire every day, to be replaced by fresh red blood cells. The old ones are processed in the liver and disposed of. Much of the resulting bilirubin leaves the body in the stool.

If there are too many red blood cells retiring for the liver to handle, yellow pigment builds up in the body. When there is enough to be visible, jaundice results.

Jaundice can be caused by too many red blood cells retiring, by the liver being overloaded or damaged, or by the inability to move processed bilirubin from the liver through the biliary tract to the gut.

Most babies have some jaundice during the first week of life. The ordeal of birth can send many red blood cells to an early retirement (especially if a vacuum is used!), and babies’ livers are often unprepared for the load. Before Mom’s milk comes in and stooling begins in earnest, bilirubin accumulates more easily. Jaundice is even more common in premature babies.
