Olivia's Story:
After 2 trips to Urgent care, 1 misdiagnosed ear infection, an emergency room visit, and a meningitis scare, our daughter was finally diagnosed with Kawasaki. Olivia was in pretty severe pain by the time we were admitted. She wouldn't bare any weight on her left leg and she wasn't able to move her neck at all without crying out in pain. Once we had an accurate diagnosis, the infectious disease doctor was very helpful and familiar with Kawasaki. She was treated with a 12hour IVIG and started to feel better before the treatment even finished. She stayed one more night in the hospital to monitor her fever after the treatment and luckily she did not need a second treatment. She's healthy and happy now!!!
Current Condition:
Healthy and happy! She has no long-term damage to her arteries and her echo results have continued to come back completely normal. We are so incredibly thankful.
