MaryAnn Status 4/28
Today was just gathering data. She had an MRI of the shoulder which is key to determining how the bone infection looks. We had a discussion with the orthopedist on treatment options if the bone infection has gotten worse. The technical term for a bone infection is Osteomyelitis and it doesn't always respond well to antibiotics. Surgery may well be the only option and if it has to happen we will not have this done in Newport. We are working through Susan Moran Mathieu to get her into the Lahey Clinic in the Boston area. I know surgery doesn't sound great, but having a chronic infection is not good. We should have a pretty good idea by the end of tomorrow as to what will be done.
