The truth about Billy Bob

I am about to admit something that most people won't admit to anyone ESPECIALLY their spouse. The reason I keep making billi jokes is that Chad dated a girl in high school named Billy Rae. I, of course, have always referred to her as "Billy Bob" because of the green eyed monster Shrek... I mean jealousy. I don't care who you are, you're always jealous of your spouse's previous flames. I'm sure Billy Bob is a perfectly nice girl, or she wouldn't have dated Chad. Of course, she did Dear John him on his mission, but that's beside the point. I have therefore been able to vent my feelings about her vicariously through my daughter's billiruben problems. I know I'm pathetic, but I'm human so please cut me some slack.

Drumroll please............. Ellie's billi count is down to 1.8! (I knew she was looking more pink) This means she gets to go off another drug! The actigall is GONE! Hooray!!!!!!!!!!! One of the side effects of actigall is nausea. Hmm... interesting isn't it? One more thing that may help Little Miss Pukey not have stomach reversal quite so much.

Happy note: She's up to 8 lbs 15 oz!

We took the boys to see her again today and Alex kissed her goodbye on her head. No picture because we left the camera in the other car. The boys will stay with Wendy tonight because I have to get up at 6:00 in the morning so I can get down to the hospital before Ellie's heart ballooning. This is a big deal for me because I do NOT do mornings well. Anyone in my family (Chad, my kids, my parents, my brothers) can testify of that. But my girl is worth getting up for. I'm praying for everthing to go smoothly so she can keep improving like she has been and COME HOME SOON.
