Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears that she should start recovering from the infection,once half of the infection, is under control,the recovery of the tissue damage around will start.
The disease will take prolonged time for complete cure. once it becomes half cured she may need to have a plaster cast at the waist to immobilize the spine.
Now she may require injection streptomycin along with the oral medicines.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
