Your doctor may prescribe the biliblanket as an alternative and/or additional treatment for you child's jaundice. This system uses fiber optics and represents advanced technology in phototherapy treatment given in the hospital or at home. The biliblanket provides the highest level of therapeutic light available to treat your baby. This form of light is also found in sunlight. The strength of light form the biliblanket is about the same, as you would get in the shade on a sunny day yet is safer because the biliblanket filters out potentially harmful ultraviolet and infrared energy.

PICK was formed in 2000 by a group of 7 mothers of infants and children with kernicterus. Although the founding group banded together to promote awareness, prevention and treatment of kernicterus, they are also means of support for each other. Since then, many families and medical professionals have become involved with PICK, and have formed the PICK community.
