Just an update. Oct. 16th Vickie had the fourth surgery on her non union bone in her right leg. She had been in pain but near the end of MV GTG the pain in her leg got worse. Anyway the doctor that did the surgery in Aug. told us her leg had bent again and had not healed and he had done all he could for her and refered us to another doctor in his group. The plan was surgery, replace bent hardware, add cadaver bone piece and an internal bone growth stimulator. Problem was a culture showed bacteria that they say kept the bone from healing. Nothing could be added new. Her leg is in a cast, she is no weight bearing and taking IV antibiotics thru a PICC line twice a day until Nov. 28th. to clear up the infection. Then when all is clear she will have her fifth surgery on her leg to install hardware, bone, growth stimulator, Then during the 6 to 8 weeks more of probably no weight bearing her leg will heal. The battle is still going on..
