I was visiting Jude when the PA for the infectious disease doctor checked on her last Friday. He told her that she would be on antibiotics for at least six weeks and they were using vancomycin, but would likely combine it with others depending on her cultures. The term osteomyelitis was used by her RN. We both told her we'd had enough of this Myelitis stuff! Patti - Michigan
