Okay, so about the blue light thingy: Kira has a bit of jaundice. Not at a level that would require intervention in a full-term baby, but since she's a preemie, the docs are playing it safe. Rather than keep her in the hospital under lamps, we were sent a "Billi blanket" to help in getting her jaundice down. Basically, the "blanket" plugs into the wall and emits the appropriate wavelength of light to accelerate metabolism of billirubin in the body, thereby easing the jaundice.
We could probably achieve the same results by putting Kira in a sunbeam several times a day, but that's not the therapy prescribed by the docs. Then again, this *is* Pittsburgh...sunbeams are never guaranteed.
