Crap, we're back at the hospital.
The hospital has a Billy Count number where they usually let you go home. I think anything under 13 is the magic number (although even at 13 they're cautious) where they let you go home. We were at 12 when we left and then when we brought Gavin back in he was at 17.
They gave us a home "Billy blanket" kit to try before we came back in, although that thing seemed pretty weak and didn't do too much (except leave me short $80). After one night in the "baby tanning bed" his Billy count was 6 and kept going down from there.
So I echo the "although it is common, you should be prepared for how scary it could be.." sentiment. With your life completely changing so fast (but for the better), having something like that happen can be a little freaky. But at least the remedy is known and pretty darn effective.
