Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida

Valid lawsuit? Daughter had rods put in her back. A few weeks later she presented signs of an Infection through bloodwork. The doctor blew it off and said that she was fine. There were never any signs of infection at the incision, which makes me feel like this all started internally from their procedure, or hardware that they installed. Over the course of 7-8 months she had to have multiple blood transfusions to stay alive, her kidneys have been permanently damaged, she developed a blood disease, and he never did anything to figure it out. Finally after many visits, he finally said it looks like theres an internal infection. They opened her back up again and found her whole back was filled with staph infection, and they scrubbed it all out. The infectious disease doctor says that the infection is in her spinal bones btw. About 2 weeks after they had went in and ckeaned her out a large lump appeared on her upper back. Turns out that the screws ripped out of her spine now since they had went in the 2 weeks prior. They had to go back in and rig it all back up to another vertebrae. They infected her back internally, caused her to almost die, permanent kidney damage, 3 times they had to open her back, she is terrified of everything now, her spine is now comprimized, and this will most likely effect her for the rest of her life. Is there a likely chance to sue? Would a lawyer be likely to take this case?
