We are still in the hospital and the end is not yet in sight. Yesterday Olivia broke out in a rash. By midday she was covered. They've got Infectious Disease, Dermatology, and Oncology involved. Of course the teams have yet to consult directly with each other and there is no definitive plan. If Olivia had a dollar every time someone took a look at her, she'd have a great start on her college tuition. Hard to keep your spirits up when doctor after doctor comes in but has nothing to say except "we can't be sure, we've asked 'so and so' to look at it," etc. I do realize it's complicated, I know the Drs. are dedicated, and I see how busy they are, but I'm tired of hearing the buck getting passed. We need a plan. And we need one soon.
Enough venting. We will get through it.
In other news, Olivia did get her brace yesterday and it is a definite improvement on the cast. She is now looking forward to getting the go-ahead to start PT!
Stay tuned...
