He First Started with really high fever 105.8 . I took him to the outpatients clinic at the hospital.Apart from the fever he also had his body full of rash and his hands and feet were swollen. (It didn’t) The doctor said that my son had an ear & throat infection,and that the rash was caused by the fever. He prescribed my son Zinnat Antibiotics and sent me home.A few days later i had to rush again to the hospital. he rushed me in and told me that he would have to stay in hospital. . ..the next day a Paediatrician came to see him. they took 6 tubes of blood samples and told us that he thinks it could be a disease called Kawasaki Disease. we had to wait 2 days for the blood results…………… That same afternoon the doctor phoned the nurses at the childrens ward and told them to to tell us that he was sure that it was KD. When we arrived there and the echo (echocardiogram) was finished he told us that my sons heart was damaged. Has this happend to anyone before?or is it very rare? They gave me a leaflet explaining about KD as i had no idea and i had never heard about this disease. I need some more information about this Reyer’s syndrome, and would like to know if anyone has had problems with this before. I dont even know if this is dangerous.Im scared of losing my son… February 2010
