Day 11
We made it home! :)  Ali is still not feeling well, but we all hope being at home and more comfortable will do her some good.  Her blood pressure does seem to be under control, and they tell us it may take a few days before her body adjusts and then she should start to bounce back.  We sure hope so!  She still has the feeding tube so we will be feeding her throughout the night that way for probably a few days, then disconnecting it during the day until she gets all of her appetite back (hopefully just a few days).  Although since we have been home she has had a little string cheese and some cottage cheese too.  It's a start! :)  She didn't want her feeding tube hooked back up tonight - so maybe that will be some incentive for her to get back on track eating :)  She is still irritable and definitely not the old Allison.  We hope that over the next few days she will begin to return to herself.  We have a follow up with her pediatrician on Monday.  Hopefully she'll be back to showing signs of her old self by then.  We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and help - they are greatly appreciated.  We'll still try to keep up the blog until we are convinced she is over this.  Thanks again to everyone!  It is good to be back home! :)
