Bilirubin 437 is there a problem?

Patient's question:

Baby was born on the 6th day with a bilirubin level of 437. After one day of blue light and human albumin treatment, it dropped to 297. Very worried about the baby's brain being affected, the baby has had no complications so far, eating, napping, and being in good spirits. After 5 days of hospitalization, the doctors couldn't find the cause of the hyperbilirubinemia, and the brain MRI showed no abnormalities. The baby was born at 39+4 weeks, weighing 6 pounds and 8 ounces. Except for the high bilirubin, the baby is otherwise healthy, but very worried about the baby's brain nerves being affected,?
