Hi never posted in this area of mn before mainly left my children out of it. But anyhow I have a 3 year old boy (4 in July) who is under a lot of specialists- pediatricians/dietician/speech therapy the list goes on. He is awaiting an autism/adhd assessment, but the thing is he was born with quite severe jaundice (came on within 12 hours of being born) and no matter how much I pushed they didn’t actually test his bilburin levels until 5 days old- once he had stopped waking for bottles/ couldn’t wake him/ and anytime he was awake it was this heartbreaking high pitched squeal. When the bilburin blood results came back he was borderline needing a blood transfusion, but they opted for the less invasive phototherapy light instead, after 3 nights on it he improved. Now I only decided to look up online after-effects of jaundice as a newborn because whenever we saw a new/different pediatrician they always seemed quite intrigued in me explaining in detail about him having jaundice as a baby. Sorry trying to keep it short as possible while covering everything I can- so when googling the word ‘kernicterus’ came up so I done as much digging as possible (roughly over the last 5/6 months) and he seems to be ticking all the boxes to him maybe getting this and this is why he is the way he is now (and not actually autistic) bottom line is can I just bring this up in the next pediatrician appointment and ask if there’s a way to investigate? I must add I understand that children can end up severely disabled with this, so I am incredibly lucky in many ways. Thankyou if you’ve made it this far!
