Comments:Thank you for sharing Todds story. My son too was diagnosed with K.D March, 2004 at the age of 8 (3 weeks before his 9th birthday). Alex is now 10 years old and suffers from coronary heart disease caused by Kawasaski Disease. He has 3 giant aneurysms measuring 9-11mm. It has been a very long and stressful 1.5 years for myself and my family. Alex is currently on Warfarin and high dose ASA to help in the prevention blood clotting. He will be on medication for the rest of his life. Keep up the great work. Best wish to you and everyone that has been affected by this terrible disease. Sincerely, Jennifer McCormack ( A Mom that is haunted by the devastating affects of Kawasaki Disease everyday).

Comments:My daughter, Natalie, had RSV February of 2004 and was sick most of the winter, so when she became diagnosed with KD in June 2004, that was a very difficult and stressful time. She had red eyes, fever of over 105 F for several days, rash all over body, strawberry rash in mouth and swollen lymph nodes. We never experienced the peeling of the hands and feet. Fortunately our pediatrician knew about the disease so he started testing her (to rule out other things) and got her admitted in the hospital very quickly. Tomorrow we go for her 1 year echo. All the echos have been clear, so I have high hopes this one will too. I thank God everyday for the prompt care my daughter recieved. Especially after reading about what other people have experienced. Thank you for this website and making other aware of this rare disease. I hope Todd will continue doing well.

Comments:My son was diagnosed with KD on April 6, 2005. It began with a swollen lymphnode and high fever. His pediatrician admitted him to the hospital on April 1 and put him on high doses of IV antibiotics. He only continued to get worse. This is when they sent him to Children's Hospital in Denver. They diagnosed KD and we saw a dramatic improvement after he had been administer the IVIG. He did develop enlarged coronary arteries and a medium sized aneurism. Although he is recovering physically, his personality has difinately changed with all he has been through. He is very fearful and has more tantrums (even though the initial irritability has worn off). Have you seen any of this from Todd? Hope all is okay with you and Todd is recovering. Thanks, Sarah

Comments:Hi, i just thought id let you know, when i was a baby i also contracted the kawasaki disease. I had it twice, the first time i was just six months old and then again at the age of two. The first time doctors couldnt tell us what it was and i got over it. However when i caught it again, like your experience there was a doctor familiar with the disease and i was treated. Im 17 now and have had no problems since then. For a long time it was disappointing to see very little information available about the disease so it's great to see you sharing your experiences.

Comments:I enjoyed viewing your website. My 3yr.old son was also diagnosed in March and has also recovered with no heart involvement so far. Looks as though we both are very lucky. This has been an experience as you know. Seeing the pictures of Todd's peeling hands and feet were unbelievable because my son's peeling started on day 9 and in the same pattern, just as hands were peeling, big toe started and then continued the same. The pictures look identical to my sons. Thank you for raising awareness of this very scary, but thankfully usually treatable disease.

Comments:Hi, We are new to KD, working through Day 6. I have spent the last few hours visiting web sites and reading about others experiences. I'm pleased to have found so much information but I am just realising that this disease may well be more than we originally thought. 15mnth old Alexander was diagnosed and treated on Day 4 and home on Day 5. Still v. lethargic, not able to move much, and horrific bleeding lips, we thought that everything would clear up pretty quick and we'd go back to normal, the echo in a month was almost certainly going to be clear, and that would be the end of it. But we haven't had the peeling yet, didn't know about the behavioral changes and have also read there maybe other long term effects besides the artery problems, like skin problems. Looks like we will be learning lot's more over the coming weeks. Kind Regards julie

Comments:When my brother was diagnosed when he was 5 there was relatvly no information about Kawasaki Disease and no support for my parents when they went through this with him. I only began researching Kawasaki disease for a college report and didnt expect to find so much great information. Im so pleased. Awareness, help and support are so important. Knowing that someone else has been through it gives others hope. My brother is now 22 and very healthy. Keep up the fantastic work. God Bless.

Thank you for working to make people aware of this awful life threatening disease. Hopefully we, or atleast our children will live to see a cure and a cause of Kawasaki Disease.

Comments:I am so pleased I have found this site, finally something for us in the UK. I read your diary and looked at your pictures, it tears to my eyes and the fear of KD has come back to me. My son who was 2 years old at the time was diagnosed with KD October 2004, this was after being poorly for two weeks and like your son he would not move. We made at least four different visits to the doctors, only to be told it was a viral infection. At the most viral infections only last 24 to 48 hours not two weeks. It was when his hands started peeling we realised something was not right, at first I thought he had burnt himself as it looked like a birst blister, but then it got bigger. Harry was admitted into hospital given something on a drip, I can't remember and was put on a high dosage of aspirin and remained on aspirin for 6 weeks. so far we have been to John Radcliffe twice for a heart scan and ECG, so far nothing has been picked up. We have to go again in September 2005, I'm scared!

Comments:Hi, We are new to KD, working through Day 6. I have spent the last few hours visiting web sites and reading about others experiences. I'm pleased to have found so much information but I am just realising that this disease may well be more than we originally thought. 15mnth old Alexander was diagnosed and treated on Day 4 and home on Day 5. Still v. lethargic, not able to move much, and horrific bleeding lips, we thought that everything would clear up pretty quick and we'd go back to normal, the echo in a month was almost certainly going to be clear, and that would be the end of it. But we haven't had the peeling yet, didn't know about the behavioral changes and have also read there maybe other long term effects besides the artery problems, like skin problems. Looks like we will be learning lot's more over the coming weeks. Kind Regards julie

Comments:When my brother was diagnosed when he was 5 there was relatvly no information about Kawasaki Disease and no support for my parents when they went through this with him. I only began researching Kawasaki disease for a college report and didnt expect to find so much great information. Im so pleased. Awareness, help and support are so important. Knowing that someone else has been through it gives others hope. My brother is now 22 and very healthy. Keep up the fantastic work. God Bless.

Comments:Hi Sarah and Chris, Like so many of you here I had never in all my years heard of Kawasaki Disease until my little granddaughter, Lexi, was diagnosed with it in December 2004. Thank you for working to make people aware of this awful life threatening disease. Hopefully we, or atleast our children will live to see a cure and a cause of Kawasaki Disease. God bless you all, Cindy, A Kawasaki Heart

Comments:I am so pleased I have found this site, finally something for us in the UK. I read your diary and looked at your pictures, it tears to my eyes and the fear of KD has come back to me. My son who was 2 years old at the time was diagnosed with KD October 2004, this was after being poorly for two weeks and like your son he would not move. We made at least four different visits to the doctors, only to be told it was a viral infection. At the most viral infections only last 24 to 48 hours not two weeks. It was when his hands started peeling we realised something was not right, at first I thought he had burnt himself as it looked like a birst blister, but then it got bigger. Harry was admitted into hospital given something on a drip, I can't remember and was put on a high dosage of aspirin and remained on aspirin for 6 weeks. so far we have been to John Radcliffe twice for a heart scan and ECG, so far nothing has been picked up. We have to go again in September 2005, I'm scared!
