My Thoughts: My Sick Nephew
My one year old nephew has been hospitalized with all of the classic symptoms of Kawasaki's Syndrome. He was hospitalized previously and they gave him the standard treatment of high-dose aspirin and gamma globulin and he seemed to improve, but as soon as they got him home he relapsed, which means his case might be one of the more dangerous kind. I read up on it and one treatment they use in resistant cases is plasmapheresis. Poor little guy, he looks like he's feeling so miserable! I just hope it hasn't permanently damaged his heart blood vessels.
