Jaundice Therapy for Xander

Xander has Jaundice and needs to be on light-therapy.  By "light," I literally mean electric light.  In this picture you can see the glow from the fiber-optic light he needs to lay on.  This light helps break down the Jaundice in a way his liver cannot since he is so young.
He will need to be on this for the next couple days; maybe less depending on results from this mornings blood test.
