Have you checked on the transplant/paediatric ward to see what the cell phone signal is like on there? I know it's pretty cheap to get little USB 3G data dongles here in the UK, but in my experience the US's mobile phone networks are a bit third world so I don't know if that's feasible where you are (I grew up in the States, and I say that from experience - lots of nice things about America, but your mobile networks are really bad!)...

That would at least allow her to email and download and surf the web, though it may not be fast enough for stuff like YouTube or Skype.
