Brief Answer:
Will low down eventually

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have seen the attached report and glad to tell you that only the indirect bilirubin is high and thus nothing much to worry
Just put him in sunlight for half an hour or so daily and keep a regular follow up with Pediatrician
Get him examined for the progressive lowering of bilirubin.
Generally indirect bilirubin at this stage gets lowered in due course of time
