GREEN BAY - Lydia Pennenberg is a happy baby she s alert, feeds easily and gives her parents sleepy smiles while they hold her.
You wouldn t know by looking at her that there s anything wrong, her dad, Andy Pennenberg, said.
And at first, there didn t seem to be. Born on Feb. 16 at Bellin Hospital in Green Bay, Lydia is Andy and Jessica Pennenberg s third child and the Greenleaf couple s first daughter. It was a smooth pregnancy, Jessica said Friday, and the couple headed home just 24 hours after a similarly smooth birth.
It wasn t until they received the baby s bloodwork that it appeared something might be off: She had high levels of bilirubin, a yellow pigment of red blood cells that can cause jaundice in infants. After a week with no change, her pediatrician recommended they see a specialist at Children s Wisconsin Hospital in Milwaukee.
