Just an update for anyone who was wondering how Genevieve was getting on.
We saw the consultant today and Geeve is finally allowed to stop the antibiotics (she's been on them since 14th November). The bottom of her scar stopped oozing a fornight ago and now looks well healed. At present there's no sign of other problems so we're keeping our fingers crossed and praying hard!
Geeve is so happy not to have to take any more flucloxacillin - she's been on twenty mls, four times daily (4000mg) and it tastes vile! Anything left alive in her back is probably immune to it by now anyway!
She's still being closely monitored in case any infection is still lurking and causes any more excitement and we go back in a month for x-rays to see whether there's any evidence of whether her spine is actually going to fuse properly - but at present things are looking hopeful.
