Dotsie, Thank heavens the boy is on the road to recovery. And what a weight off your mind!
Isn't it a shame that the dr's couldn't use this anomaly constructively. It seems to me that CS could be an answer in the treatment of Kawasaki. Especially, as by not providing the intravenous immune globulin until the last minute (so to speak) suggests that it has its own risks. Any way my thoughts are with you and the youngster. Good Health!
