Johnny has had his lvad for 4 years now,  This past April (2014) while in Florida he got the pseudomonas infection.  He is now on infusions 3x a day.  Would like to know if any one has or had this infection and does it ever go dormat?  Any information would be helpful as we were told that he would be on infustions for the rest of his life.  I really need answers.   Thanks

My husband was in the hospital for 21 days in Nov. He is also on infusion 3 times a day. - $ 160. 00 a week. I don't have spelling right right now, but it is medipinum . We were told he would be on forever. He has had heartmate for 4 yrs. now. He was on destination therapy until this. He is now on transplant list as of 2-3 weeks now. He had blood stream infection in hospital. That was cleared up, but has driveline infection still. It's really been a burden for my husband 3 times a day . Plus daily dressing change it certainly has been a challenge , but we are succeeding . Hoping to keep the infection at bay. What hospital are you going to ? Would like to speak with you. If you would like. How is your husband Doing ? Thanks , Pat
