Last April my son diagnoised with Osteomyelitis. He had a high fever for 2 weeks and underwent surgery to his right leg leaving a 8 inch open wound. He came home a week later with a Groshen double-ported pick line in his arm. He was required to have intra-venous antibotics 3 times per day for 6 weeks and then for 3 months after that he took Ceflex by mouth. I tell you this because we have lived through the hardest parts of our lives last summer. Eric is now 15 years old and played basketball for his middle school ball team. Currently you can't tie him down. He will be playing baseball for the senior league this summer. we have seen no permanent after effect from his life-threatening illness. It is very important to follow all your doctor's intructions to the letter. In honor of my son returning to school at the sports banquent in June, he received a standing ovation from all his classmates and teachers. This disease changes your presceptive on how you live your life.
