The records of 30 patients who had suffered from vertebral osteomyelitis were reviewed. They conformed to a constant pattern, though varying in tems of: (i) the severity of the disease due to host-organism interrelationship; and (ii) age distribution. Causative organisms could not always be identifed, though all lesions settled with conservative measures of rest and antibiotics. A high proportion of the patients who were followed up for more than one year were back at work. The anatomical distribution of the lesions can be explained by our knowledge of the vascular supply to the vertebral bodies.
Three mothers of severely handicapped children, who had not attended Honeylands nor received any home visiting, were asked to attend and participate in the monthly group meetings for the second year of the three year project (Rayner 1978). They each then decided to visit a family with their home therapist. They comment on the responsibility undertaken by all parties to this work; parents, therapist and supportive team.
