Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Sorry to hear your daughter is stuggling with a sequel of e coli infection.
The best treatment of e coli infection or any other bacteria infection is with an antibiotic sensitivity test.This is what you daughter benefited from.However, some bacteria infections may extend to the nervous system and creat serious effect especially if treatment started late.What your daughter is going through may not be an active infection but just an effect of the infection she suffered in 2010.
I will suggest you see the Doctor for evaluation and if she can be taken out of her state, her Doctors will help
Hope this will help
Best regards
