Getting back to normal

We are working on getting back to normal after working in all our free time on our house for so many weeks.

Here a feww updates on some things going on right now:

Septic: On Tuesday we had our septic pumped out. The guy said it needed work. We had someone out that afternoon to work on it. He said there is a pipe that is a little off but it is not a big deal and they blasted the system and said it should be fine now. They said we need to put baking yeast in the system every 6 months. For two city kids who have never dealt with septic before this is a little beyond us. We said if we move again someday it will be to somewhere with city water...

Brent: Brent text me yesterday at 5pm with a picture of he orange snot coming out of his nose. Not something that should be coming out of anyone. He went to the walk-in this morning and is on antibiotics. I think he and Jillian are on the same one... now if i can only get him to take the entire 10 day dose instead of just a few days...

Jillian poop: Jilly has only pooped a couple times all week. It is still seaming to be a lot of work for her. I did get her more laxatives. Sadly when I picked it up our pharmacist was not on (it was someone I had never seen there before and the person looked super confused) so I was not able to bring up my frustration with what happened the last time I got it filled.

Tape: Medical tape makes me want to go AAAAHHHH frequently! Jillian is now more active with her hands and manages to take some of her tape off everyday just by being a baby. We use 2 small strips on her face and 2 behind hit er ear. We have tried many different brands of tape and different sized pieces and shapes, and while some stay better then others (1 kind I tried this morning did not last a half hour) most cant last a day. She did get all of her tape ripped off this week. I was packing her up to leave daycare and I turned to do something and a child tripped over her line (that I thought was tucked behind) and took all the tape off in one quick motion and pulled on the bridle. I had not heard her scream like that before. She whimpered for an hour. I felt so bad for her. If she did not have the bridle though we would have been going to Children's because it would have fallen out. I stopped at Walgreens this afternoon to try to find a different tape and found one that says it is for hold IVs in. So far it is doing so much better then the rest! I am hoping for a winner!

Jillian's tummy: Jillian sees GI on the 7th and we are thinking that it is going to be a big appointment. My prayer this week has been "God show me what we need to do and show us if what we are doing is the right thing." It is a constant balancing act of are we doing too much, too little or just what she needs. I want to do the right thing for her. I feel that God has showed me in the past 24hr that we are doing the right thing for our little girl. Jillian has started liking her new bottle sometimes and has drank an entire 10ml from them a few times. She still refuses at times and can be uncoordinated but it is something! Last night and this morning a large amount of that water came back. She gets 10ml of water in her bottles. 1 Tablespoon=14.78ml of water. So she is getting about 2/3 of a tablespoon of water. I would estimate between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon came back out it this morning. 

Visitors:  Jillian has been able to see 4 out of her 5 living great grandparents this week and she should see the other one tomorrow at church. She is so fortune to be able to see them and spend time with them. Brent's grandparent's are currently visiting from FL. 

Well it is time for me to try to get a little sleep. I have a cough right now and so does Jilly so we were both up coughing last night.
