PLEASE say many prayers for this little girl, some of you have seen her story on my profile.
She is back in the hospital scared and crying because it is bringing all of the past back but she is having swelling in her joints as well as pain and high fever.
PLEASE pray for her she has been through so much and needs to be wrapped in prayer
They are thinking Kawalski disease or how ever it is spelled but no one knows anything yet

Thank you Real, it breaks my heart this little girl has endured so much and now going through this
she is my niece by marriage from my ex but even more special to me because she was born on my birthday.
she was already given up on by doctors and paramedic's from a VERY bad car accident some time ago and now she is reliving all the pain and fear through this trial

CC,
We do not understand why things like this happens.
All I know is God knows and he is in control.
We will know one DAY.

GBU Brother.

What is Kawasaki disease?
Kawasaki disease is the most common form of vasculitis that primarily affects children. The disease produces irritation and inflammation of many tissues of the body, including the hands, feet, whites of the eyes, mouth, lips, and throat. High fever and swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck also are characteristic of this illness. The inflammation is uncomfortable, but resolves with time and is rarely serious. However, the main threat from Kawasaki disease comes from its effect on the heart and blood vessels. Heart-related complications can be seen as early as two weeks after onset of the disease and can be temporary or may affect the child long-term. The heart, particularly the coronary arteries, is affected in as many as one of five children who develop Kawasaki disease. Infants less than one year of age are usually the most seriously ill and are at the greatest risk for cardiac involvement. The risk of developing coronary artery disease later in life is not yet known.

Another name for Kawasaki disease is mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome.

How often does it occur?
Kawasaki disease is fairly common in the US. According to the American Heart Association, the illness is a major cause of heart disease in children. About 4,000 children are diagnosed in the US each year. Kawasaki disease, together with acute rheumatic fever, is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the US and Japan.

Who is affected by Kawasaki disease?
Kawasaki disease occurs more often in Japan than in any other country. In the US, children of Asian or Asian American heritage are affected more often than other races, although Kawasaki disease can occur in any racial or ethnic group.

The vast majority of children who develop Kawasaki disease are under age five. The average age child seen with the illness is two years old. It occurs in boys twice as often as in girls.

Hi cuc. Praying for your little niece and for a fast recovery. My nephew had that too and suffered many days before doctors found out what it was. He recovered very fast after the treatment.

Thank you Lyl

last I heard she is doing well, and yes she was suffering as well for a couple of days until they figured it out
her little hands and feet were swollen and crazy fever temps
this again is one of those things we do not hear about until it happens to those close to us.
