Here is what Kristin (my sister-in-law, Tom's middle sister) sent us this morning. . . yea!!
Infusion complete. Fever coming down. Hopefully will stay that way. Cardiologist said echo and EKG look good. Hopefully we'll be released tomorrow at noon.
The diagnosis was "incomplete Kawasaki disease." You can go here for an official description, http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/kawasaki-disease/DS00576
But the very simplified meaning (at least as I understand it) is primarily an inflamation of blood vessels. It can cause high fever and lots of other scary symptoms and if not caught quickly, which Teddy's was, heart damage.
Looking good, Teddy!
Thanks for your prayers.
Thank you, God, for listening.
Karen
