osteo myelitis

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My husband is a 41 year old diabetic who has spent the last 12 months

fighting Osteo Myelitis. He has had 7 surgeries total and the last 2

were performed at the Indiana University hospital which involved

debredment of the pelvic bone and antibiotic beads. He was then sent

home with a picc line and Vancomycin to treat it. He is doing well at

this point, however, I am concerned with the fact that it may come

back. The doctor's really don't give me straight answers when it comes

to advising me of the likelyhood of this infection returning. I am

wondering if anyone in the group has any first hand info on the chronic

aspect of this infection. I would appreciate any info at this point.

thanks so much for your help!
