80th birthday to the little stinker!

I am going to rewind a little bit in this blog post first because I want to make sure that I get in all the stuff about our weekend, so if you are looking for the Jillian hospital update it is a little farther down in this post.

We got out of the hospital at rush hour on Friday (best time to leave the north side of Milwaukee and go to the south! lol). We went to my parents and had dinner with my dad. My dad and I went over to my aunt's house to see my grandma and the rest of my family. My great uncle Bill was there from Indiana and we had not seen him since my wedding and my aunt and uncle where there from out state also. We visited for a little bit and then went back to the house to pick up Brent and Jillian and head to the airport to pick up my mom. We picked her up on the curbside and headed back to their house. Brent went to bed when  we got home but Jillian wanted to stay up and see her grandma. She even gave her a gift of a blow out diaper! We got to bed kinda late.
Saturday morning we cleaned around mom and dad's house and the boys went to Sam's club and got my tires rotated and picked up food. Mom, Jillian and I went to Goodwill, JC Penny and Target. By the time we were done shopping it was time to go back to the house for dinner. My grandma, Uncle Bill, Aunt Terri, and Uncle Scott came over and we cooked out. It was really cool to get to ask my uncle Bill questions about family history. He is a really smart guy! After they all left we hung out for a bit and then went to bed.
Sunday we got up early and went to first service. After church we had a group picture. Then we stopped at my parent's house to pick some things up.

Dad and Brent headed over to the restaurant where we had my grandmother's surprise 80th birthday party. Mom and I stopped at a rummage sale by their house that had a lot of kids stuff. We got Jillian some clothes, toys and a 6 sided gate to play in. We then stopped back at mom and dad's to get a power cord and then we joined them at the restaurant. Some of my family was there setting up. When we got there we had a surprise! Two of my great aunts came into town for the party and we did not know they were coming. They loved meeting Jillian. Set up finished and then the people started to arrive. Mom and I help direct people since there were two parties going on.
My grandma got there and was so surprised! It was really nice to see so many people that love her because she is a wonderful person! We ate and I think I got the best seat in the house. Across from me was my great uncle Bill, on my left was my cousin Sam and on the other side was my cousin Delana. My grandparents and my aunts and uncles were all around me. Jillian took a nap during the meal. My cousins and I severed the cake. Once most of the people had left we took pictures.
Mom, Jillian and I went back to the house so I could pump and to change clothes. We then headed back to the restaurant where everyone was having drinks at the bar. We hung out for a bit and then everyone left. We went back to mom and dads to pack up and went to Penara Bread for dinner on our way out of town.
We got home to the sound of music. We did not move in until August last year so we had no idea how close we live to County Thunder. It is just a few miles down the road and you can head it clearly outside and can hear it muffled inside over the TV.

Monday Jillian had a doctors appointment with her ped as a follow up for her ears. The ped ended up digging out ear wax. Jillian has her momma's ears. I have always been able to impress with the amount of ear wax I have and Jillian has the same talent!
In the evening Jaime and Jason came over for my birthday dinner! Jaime blessed us by cooking a yummy dinner and making a coffee pie for dessert! It was so nice to get to talk and be encouraged by friends. They are so good at pointing us back to God. We feel so blessed to have them!
Tuesday morning Jillian and I had a slow morning. I was slowly getting things done but Jilli was in a cuddling mood. I put Jillian on her blanket on the floor to play so I could eat lunch. I microwaved leftover pancakes and sat down on the floor next to her. I looked down and was cutting my pancake and heard the noise that makes us move fast. It is the gag/cough noise of the tube moving. I look over at her and she is holding the end of the tube that was just in her intestines in her hand. AHHH! The pump was still running so mil was coming onto the floor. I shut that off and got the rest of her tape off. I called the hospital and left a message for GI. 2 hours later no one had called me back so I called again. They paged a nurse and she called me back about 20 min later. She said she would talk to the dr and the surgery department and come up with a plan but to make sure our bags where packed. She called me back about 10 min later and said they were just going to admit her on the surgical floor and put in an IV until surgery. I loaded up the car and took off.

We came in and I got a 10 parking spot (funny how good of a spot you get around 5pm). As we were coming up the skywalk her GI dr was leaving. We talked for a while in the Skywalk about the last time she was in. She said she was on the for the week so she would be seeing us.
We then went down the registration and checked in. They asked if we needed someone to show us up to the 9th floor and I said I knew where we were going. We came up to the floor and got a room. The nurse showed us around (the floor is identical to 11). My mom came up and we hung out with Jillian and watched the school board meeting (its always fun to watch people bad mouth your mother on TV). Her room this time has a bath tub (she has always had showers in the bathroom... ) so we filled up the tub and gave her bath. She LOVED it :) Brent then got here. After her bath two nurses came up from the NICU to put Jillian's IV in. It was now after 10pm and she had not eaten since 1 so she was dehydrated. They first tried both of her feet and it did not work. As a last resort they tried her wrist. Luckily that worked because I don't know what they would have done if it did not work. My mom then headed home and we went to bed. She slept well and only woke up when they did vitals.
