Sunday night our sweet nephew Grayson was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital with flu-like symptoms as well as a rash. After hours of tests ruling out specific causes he was officially diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that affects the blood vessels in the body and only affects children under the age of 5. If it goes untreated it can damage the coronary arteries and cause severe damage. He started his treatment last night (it takes 12 hours through an IV) and will be in the hospital until at least Wednesday morning.
Thankfully it looks like it was caught in the early stages and there should not be any lasting effects, but we won't know for a few weeks if that is for sure.
Hopefully this sweet little boy will be back to normal and can go on to live a normal happy life.
