more yellow spew

Yellow, my current least favorite color. I can't say I have ever had a defined least favorite color before, but it is definitely yellow right now! Why yellow? Well it leads back to the two Jilli P's.... Poop and Puke!
Everyone sleeps with their head arched back from reflux right

Poop:
Yup, Jilli poops yellow... interesting...I know! Probably more information then you wanted to know. (Sorry if you are eating while reading this) This week Jilli's body has decided that pooping daily, while on laxatives is not necessary. I however disagree and so does the little girl who spent an entire day pushing out liquid poop. I kept getting up last night to her moaning and grunting. The poop finally flowed this afternoon. She had not had a good poop since Monday. Getting her to poop at all is a balancing act. Too much laxative and it is everywhere all the time... too little and there is nothing. And we are talking about a 0.1ml difference some days however the magical number in the flow vs explode equation is a changing variable. This is oh so convenient. Magic number tomorrow... who knows!

Puke:
Today Jillian graced the world with more yellow highlighter puke. Still not sure what it is about. I know it is stomach juices, but why are they randomly joining us outside her body? I guess it is a good thing we see GI at 8am. She was fussy most of the day today but I am not sure if that has to do with the neon puke this afternoon or the poop situation or if she is getting sick again or if I need to call and get her on antibiotics for her ear. Where is a magic eight ball?
She was at daycare when the yellow came flowing out the mouth and her teacher got her and came to see me. A different teacher was also in the room and asked why I needed to know about the puke and why it was a big deal. For most babies it would not be a deal at all if some stuff came out of their mouth however for a baby who does not eat it raises a little concern.

On a different subject (but still Jilli related) I got to talk to the insurance company tonight. I went online to check to see if the claims where finished processing from having them all reprocessed from our out of pocket max not kicking in when it was suppose to. What I found (other then the old claims not being done yet from the 3rd of the month) was that for the past couple months they did not pay for Jillian's pump or pump bags. They paid for it in the past. They paid for a surgery to have a tube put in. They pay for the syringes to put meds into the tube... but not the pump to put food into her or the bags to hold the food. AHHH. So they are going to review it... it should take 7-10 business days... We will see.It has been more then 10 business days since the last review and it is still not done. Of course my phone cut out when the lady was looking into the last  review and I just could not handle going through their automated system again tonight. So I'll call them again tomorrow. I think I talk to people about medical bills more sometimes then I do with people that have deep relationships with.
