from going home to getting a central line..

well we are not going home any time soon. Last night one of the dr's came in to check on Ella and her eyes and head were so swollen. She ordered some lab and the glucose was 31 and her liver tests were way off again. So they had to IV her again at 3 am, and after an hour and a half of failed attempts, they got one in her shin. and they just had to take it out because it was no good.. so they have decided to do a pic line instead of the endless poking and prodding for blood and another IV. So we are waiting on this.. We're not sure at this point what is going on and what is causing it all. They are having a GI dr come in and evaluate her liver... they did the ultrasound and we're just waiting to hear something from someone... please keep praying... one step forward, two steps back I guess...
