Back again

In the interest of time, sanity and the sleep I need, I'm going to keep this quick. Basically, we went to Abby's primary care doc, who conferred with Children's Hospital docs, who sent us to Children's ER. We got here around 1, triage around 2, room around 2:45, hospital check in around 10:30. Nurses, nurse practitioners, care providers came to see us. Xray of hip, xray of tibia, MRI. Two collapsed veins trying to draw blood/place the IV, Abby beside herself, screaming that she doesn't want to do it anymore.

Now we've been admitted. They think it's a bone infection. MRI showed something but was somewhat inconclusive. Bloodwork showed definite infection, and the infection markers are growing quickly. Orthopedic doc and radiologist need to get on the same page, which they'll do tomorrow. Several things were mentioned, nothing definite... Hospital tonight, and maybe 2-3 more days (don't tell Abby... she freaked out about the one night). IV antibiotics from now until, well, Christmas, literally. Chance of surgery.

So, we just don't know. Hopefully tomorrow will spread some light, show us the fix, and let us go on our merry way.

I didn't really want to be back here this quickly.
