   Don't have a lot of details as yet but one of the girls jaundice has relapsed. Lack of rest and lack of proper nutrition has relapsed her jaundice. She is headed for the hospital today. I'll update with more details as they become available.

From Wikipedia:

Jaundice, also known as icterus (attributive adjective: "icteric"), is a yellowing of the skin, conjunctiva (a clear covering over the sclera, or whites of the eyes) and mucous membranes caused by increased levels of bilirubin in red blooded animals. Usually the concentration of bilirubin in the blood must exceed 2–3 mg/dL for the colouration to be easily visible. Jaundice comes from the French word jaune, meaning yellow. Jaundice typically appears in a 'top to bottom' progression (starting with the face, progressing toward the feet), and resolves in a 'bottom to top' manner.
