cue the Jeperdy waiting sound...

Today was wait day.
Jillian developed a cough over night that kept waking her up. The nurse had the doctor come in and listen to it and they decided it was either irritation from the new tube and bridal or she is coming down with something. As the morning went on her cough continued and she developed a runny nose with lovey green gook. By tonight the cough and nose are a little bit better except now she has started to cry when she coughs. I would imagine her throat is quite irritated.
Other then the cold symptoms today has been rather uneventful health wise. She is going continuously on the pump (I had a nurse want to shut it off this morning) and seaming to do well with that. She had 3 bottles with water in them and did well with them. You can still her refluxing anything that she takes by mouth (including her acid reflux meds) but because she is getting so much less by mouth it is not as bad.
Today I left the hospital for a little bit to go to church. It was our church's 90th anniversary! Jillian is the 6th generation attending the church and it has been such a large and important part of my life and our family's life. It was good to see my dad up on stage playing guitar like he has for so many years. Our church first started a contemporary service on Saturday nights when I was little and my dad has played in the band ever since it started. I enjoyed the service and the celebration, it just would have been nice to have Jillian and Brent there too.   
Tonight we had more visitors. Dan came over and he and Brent ran to REI. It was good for them to get out and spend some time together and in a place they enjoy. My parents came up this afternoon too. Seth stayed in Kenosha to work on homework and he was not feeling well. He went to the walk-in clinic after church because he was afraid he had pneumonia again (He was in the hospital for 15 days in November with double pneumonia, a staff infection, infected shoulder, and sepsis that led to organs starting to shut down). Luckily he does not have pneumonia currently however he is experiencing chest discomfort.
Our friends JR and Heather came up with their kiddos Eli and Jolie tonight. They brought everyone cookies which was a good ending to the Cheesecake Factory take out mom, dad, Brent, Dan and I had for dinner. It was fun to visit with others.  
While dad and Dan went and picked up dinner mom took Jillian for a little while and Brent and I walked to the family lounge so we could have a little bit to catch up with each other. Even though we have been with each other most of the day for the past two days we have been in take care of the baby mode so it was nice to get to catch up with each other and talk about the week ahead.
All the people still in our room after visiting hours were over :)
Well, it is starting to become a trend of everyone around me snoring so I think I am going to pump and put little miss to bed in her bouncer (she is "helping" me type right now by sitting on the mouse pad part of my laptop asleep). The hospital crib is just too big for her to sleep in and she ends up at the end of it turned sideways so we are very grateful that grandma and grandpa brought up the bouncer from their house. I will update tomorrow as we know what is happening. Tomorrow we should have a new plan of what the next few days will look like and what tests we are going to run.
Goodnight all!
