vab, sorry to hear about the bilirubin scare. I have Gilbert's syndrome myself, which means that I always am somewhat jaundiced. It's not too noticeable unless you look at my eyes when I'm stressed and hungry. I also have to tell doctors when I get blood tests so they don't freak out. I sincerely hope that's the problem and not anything else. I have never had jaundice that severe, so I am concerned for you. Of course, I'm not a doctor and my opinion should be taken with a boulder of salt.
