It was a very emotional and eventful day. We talked to our Dr at Texas Children’s last night and she advised us to take Mia to the hospital the next day. Her fever was still very high and she was not eating. Mostly sleeping all day. We were trying to find a source of the fever.
Our guide,Sherry, went with us to the hospital and helped us navigate all the red tape. There is no way we would have known what to do without her. After a few hours we were informed that she has a treatable disease know as Kawasaki disease. The doctor spoke very good English and was able to explain all the details to us. This is something that she contracted probably in the last 2 – 3 weeks. I have lots more info but will save it for later.
They treated her with a special IV for most of the day. We were allowed to take her back to the hotel tonight to sleep but we have to return to the hospital in the morning for them to check her. The IV worked wonders. About an hour and half into the IV she just came alive. The fever came down and she is just a new girl…
We are all so very relieved. There will be follow up for it when we return home but for now she is doing soooo much better.
