ste_noniWe are at a new hospital. They say Ellie needs about five days of IV antibiotics. We should have an oral surgeon consult today or tomorrow. We were supposed to go to New Mexico to go house hunting next Wednesday but now I think we will try to get her teeth dealt with while we are there.
I am trying to let yesterdas fiasco go. We got three different "could go to her brain. Very serious" opinions at the first hospital. They were supposed to transfer us to a TRICARE accepting hospital. Then for some reason that fell through and when we refused to pay cash (first $2800, then $3300, then $2500) Ellie was miraculously healed two hours later and sent home.
We took her to her regular pediatrician who did more blood work and said, yeah, she needs IV AB definitely. We got the okay to take her home last night and we came here to the new hospital this morning. My mom got here yesterday and it is really helpful to have another adult here. Hopefully we will leave the ER for her room soon but it is pretty quiet here.

I hope you and yours are now all able to heal from this.
