Ally has cellulitis. It is an infection of the tissue around her eye. Normally this requires a call in prescription and go home...but not with Ally! We are here until at least Saturday. She will be on antibiotics through IV every 8 hours. She has lost more weight, so they want to place an NG tube. This is a tube that goes down her nose to her tummy and formula or in our case pediasure is put through it. Ally has had 4 of these in the past, she has ripped out 3 of them (when she was feeling much less perky than she currently is). They are also talking about placing a G Tube. Which is a tube that goes right to her tummy and sticks out of her tummy (I think it requires surgery to place). This stupid eye thing is causing us too much trouble. The worst part is the room we are stuck in...550. The room where we learned of Ally's diagnosis, almost a year ago now, and because of her quarantine we are not allowed to leave it. I'll update tomorrow with more info as we get it.
