Default My sister and Myasthenia Gravis

It's been almost a year now since my sister was diagnosed with MG. She nearly died with a staff infection which caused her muscles to stop working her lungs and she had to be put on a ventilator for nearly 2 weeks. Finally she got rid of the staff infection and things were looking up. Then she got a kidney infection and went to the hospital ER. While in the ER she fell and broke her hip. She had to have a partial hip replacement. Now the Dr.s are saying her bones have become "soft" from the medications she is having to take for the MG. Has anyone here heard of anything like this? I am trying so very hard to stay positive for her and she is so frightened. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

One last question...does it ever get better or is this just the way her life will be from now on??
