Jill needs to take at least a foot off that scraggly hair.

[CalicoKitty]

Did Jill donate hair to Locks of Love in the past?  Or am I thinking of someone else?  It is time to donate again.

Edited to add:  I just remembered they don't take dyed hair.  Too bad.

I wish they would all learn to stand up straight at least when the photos are taken.  It looks like Jill isn't keeping up the color which isn't all that surprising.  Maybe after school starts back soon she'll be able to do something.  I hope she blends the colors and lets it grow out highlighted not all over too light.  It's nice to see they do get together.

[Salacious Kitty]

I'm wondering if Jill just briefly stopped by to drop off a present. Because she obviously didn't get the blue memo. 

[Absolom]

There were some others there in other colors.   Maybe the people throwing the shower were more likely to be in blue plus Abby?

That’s what I thought, Abbie and the hostesses in blue.

She did cut it short a few years back. Since she let it grow long again I don't think she liked it short.

[satrunrose]

I'm not going to read too much into Jill's failure to blue. Her size is probably changing a lot right now and she may have decided not to spend money on a blue dress that will probably be too big in a few weeks just to match with a theme. As a side note, I'm not a fan of making party guests wear a specific colour. It's enough to ask that they're taking time and spending money to buy a gift, it doesn't seem fair to make a clothes requirement other than be clothed and be appropriate to the occasion (obvious exception for costume parties). Plus, because everyone's wearing  different shades and materials, it just looks weird in photos.

It was never short, though. She would still have long hair even if she cut off a foot.

Locks is Love also charges the people who get the wigs that are made.  

Topic? Jill would look so cute with shoulder length hair.

Things I noticed: Jill gave credit for the medical care she received as well as family and friends who helped her out. And she explicitly stated that the information she shared about gall bladder issues was not medical advice. Thereby clarifying that she was not speaking as a medical professional. As a person who dealt with gall bladder issues and surgery, her information seemed on point and in line with what I was told. I am sure it hasn't been easy with a new born and two little ones.

Same here. I find her information useful. I had  pain and nausea intermittently for several years. I thought it was heartburn (having never experienced heartburn, I assumed that’s what it was). I would take OTC heartburn meds and after 15-20 minutes, the pain would subside. I ordinarily would have asked for medical advice, but I didn’t have health insurance during those years. Eventually, I had an attack of vomiting and pain right after eating that I knew just wasn’t right and went to the ER. Dr Google told me it could be pancreatitis. As it turned out, I did have gallbladder pancreatitis, which can be very serious. After 2 days in the ER, I finally got an inpatient bed, then surgery to remove my gallbladder. I was hospitalized for a week (cost - over $100,000 and would be at least twice that today). Anyway, if I had read a post like Jill’s before it became an emergency, maybe I would have gotten treatment earlier. I hope her post helps others.

And she didn’t even mention Jesus. No praise the Lord or anything. Much different that Jillpm only giving credit to Lord Daniel. 

[Absolom]

It's surprising, but then again not.  Michelle had gallbladder problems and it does run in families.  Their diet is definitely not the best.  I'm thrilled that Derick has a job with health insurance for them and that Jill made rapid use of it.  That has to be a bit tough though with two surgeries in less than six weeks.  Hopefully she had laparoscopic surgery for the gallbladder and it will heal quickly.  

[Lady Whistleup]

Im glad she has insurance and went to the hospital. I relate to her because last year I just had an on/off UTI that never really went away. I was told over and over what to do, and nothing really worked. Finally they gave me a hardcore regimen of cipro that ... caused a horrible case of C diff. I was told in the hospital that womens' general pain/discomfort issues are commonly ignored by medical doctors.

Jill not only was careful to not call her information medical advice; but the actual advice she gave was very medically sound and reasonable.  The kind of stuff an actual medical professional might provide.

BTW, pregnancy is a common time for gallstones to develop.  The hormones in pregnancy, like estrogen and progesterone are broken down into cholesterol by the body and cholesterol is what gallstones are made of.  It's also why all pregnant women have elevated cholesterol levels and therefore cholesterol testing should not be done for screening then.  Many women with gallstones will find that their attacks increase dramatically in the postpartum period and needing a cholecystectomy at that time is not unusual.

****** oh my goodness! That’s rough! Yes…my mama and Derick have been taking me for walks lol

This was in response to someone who advised her to walk a lot. I am glad her mom is helping her.  

I see another response to a poster who suggested a heating pad. So sounds like Michelle may even be staying with her.  Hope she brought Jenni with her.

Yes!! The heating pad! Mama got it out for me last night! Being in the recliner has helped too!

My mom just had her gallbladder removed a month ago at 62.  Drs were surprised she hadn’t noticed any symptoms leading up to the attack because it was so bad off. But, women like my mom and myself tend to work through any aches and pains they may have and chop the symptoms up to something else (something I ate, lack of sleep,etc) so I can appreciate the advice and I am trying to be more in tune with my body knowing that it could happen to me too. 

[Liddy52]

In re-reading Jill's post where she referred to gut issues, it occurred to me that it's a good thing Jill Rodrigues didn't know Jill Dillard was having such problems. She would have tried to have sold Jill Dillard some of her miracle drug Plexus. She claims Plexus cures all gut issues, so gall bladder surgery would have been completely unnecessary!  (Where's that sarcasm font when I need it?)

You know she must have brought one of the girls with her... no way is she looking after the three boys in addition to Jill. Unless they sent the older two to Cathy. But yeah, I hope Jenni's getting to spend time with her real mom.

I don't know if Cathy could take them. School may have already started, and IIRC, Cathy is now about 45 minutes away. 

[dargosmydaddy]

Yeah, I would think they're home, hence the necessity for a sister (aunt) mom when they're not in school.

According to Google, the boys will start school Monday.

Sadly, Jenni’s probably got a better chance of picking something up at Dining Table school in a house where one person has a real degree (or two!) and the older kids go to proper school even if she is being asked to aunt-mom an infant. The effect of being in a home where education is valued is huge.

Does it light something in her brain when Izzy mentions what they’re learning this year or Sam shows off his new school supplies? Does someone actually bother to ask what she’s learning in between diaper changes and really listen to her answers?

Maybe none of that happens. But it certainly won’t happen at TTH.

She's definitely going to need help. I was under weight restriction for 6 weeks if I remember correctly after I had mine removed. I want to say nothing more than 10lbs and I couldn't pick up anything on or near the ground.

[Lukeysboat]

Ah, poor Jill. Two surgeries so close together *and* having a newborn would be tough. I’m glad she’s got help, even if it is Michelle.

[Ljohnson1987]

Not surprised about the gall bladder issues for Jill. Glad she's on the road to recovery.

After mine was done and I left the hospital, I went right back to work.  I don’t remember having any restrictions except for dietary recommendations. But I didn’t have an infant or need to do a lot of lifting. Those scars itched, though! Odd how patients can get such varied instructions from doctors. I hope Jill recovers quickly and has all the help she needs.

Yea, my mom was sent home without restrictions. She was in her 60s, had the operation on Thursday and went back to work on Monday.

Jill seems to need some extra TLC, if her 'recovery' from having her wisdom teeth removed is any indication.

How sad for Jill’s little sisters. I can’t imagine how it would feel to be forbidden from attending school and seeing your little nephews preparing for their first days of school. That’s heartbreaking.

When my cousin was pregnant she got real sick with her gallbladder. Only after my Godson was born was she able to get surgery. It runs in my family but I'm lucky it isn't an issue with me, so far. I wish Jill the best. 

There is no spoiler, I accidentally hit it and can't get rid of it. 

[Tigregirl]

Recovery time for gall bladder removal depends on whether or not the surgery was laparoscopic.  When I had mine out, the surgeon said recovery is about a week with some lift restrictions if it was laparoscopic.  But if they couldn’t do that, and I needed an open surgery (which they wouldn’t know until they started), it would be about a 6-8 week recovery.  I was very glad it was laparoscopic but I can’t imagine if I had to take care of a newborn after that.  Getting up from a sitting position was very painful.  Plus I get really sick from anesthesia, no matter what they give me.  So surgery recovery for me can be somewhat difficult.  Not going to knock Jill for having help, especially if she did have an open surgery.

[Scarlett45]

I am sorry Jill had to have surgery but I am glad she isn't suffering from gallbladder attacks any more. This is a lot right after having a baby and having two other small kids at home. 

[Ljohnson1987]

Recovering from a C-Section and gall bladder removal at the same time doesn't sound fun. 

[xwordfanatik]

Is Dillweed working?  Hopefully, he's at least taking care of the older two when he's at home.

The kids started school today, so Jill will get a bit of a break. I hope she doesn't have to drive them because that would mean packing up the baby.

[Absolom]

I wonder how close to school they were able to buy this time.  Their last house was a nice walk from the school.  I obviously have not been sleuthing.

From yesterday's IG story it seems Jill is staying pretty much in her room. Maybe Michelle is still there.
