Just a quick update. We are back in hospital. This time the heart looks fine but he has a very sore, swollen , red ankle and they suspect a bone infection called osteomyelitis. He is in a lot of pain and they have him on IV antibiotics. He is having an MRI today to find out for sure. The other possibility is an infection in the joint rather than the bone which would be better. Septic arthritis = 5 days of IV antibiotics. Osteomyelitis = 6 weeks of IV antibiotics.

The cardiac team are obviously worried than an infection may spread to the blood and up to the heart. (He is at high risk of heart infections due to the scar tissue a d metal valve) do far the heart looks good. Just more waiting I guess. Scared about the MRI today. He has to be put under general anaesthetic for it.

I ****ing hate this place!!

Hugs glenny, hope its the shorter one so you don't have to stay too long. And hopefully the infection doesn't spread anywhere else. Thinking of Charlie and you, and the rest of your family.
