Coxackie, Kawasaki, Roseola....whatever...just go away!

First, let me start off by saying that everybody is just FINE! But - we have been through a bit of a rigamaroll lately. So right after Noam's birthday he went to the doctor for his 1 year shots. He was feeling good that day. But the next day he got sick and had very high fever for a week. It ended up being Roseola which we discovered after he broke out in a rash. Unfortunately, he didn't get better after the rash and had lower fevers for another week. After a few doc visits along the way - I finally took him in on Saturday 5/23 and they performed a multitude of tests on the little guy, including blood, chest x-ray, urine. They also told me that he had an ear infection as well and gave me meds. That night we got a huge scare as we were called with preliminary blood results that necessitated us rushing up to the Yale Pediatric ER so that Noam could get treated for Kawasaki disease (what???). We got to Yale at about midnight and met with doctors through the night who diagnosed him with Coxackie and decided not to give the Kawasaki treatment since he wasn't presenting the symptoms. His blood was tested again and was moving in the right direction - so we went home at about 6am. We were told to go to the peds office that day for follow-up. Around 1pm I took Noam to the doc - and they sent me home saying it was too early to see him. I left Noam with Lavi and went over to pick up Ari at my parents house. At around 5pm - Lavi called saying that we needed to return to Yale for the night so that Noam could get an Echo and the Kawasaki treatment. our ped had finally weighed in and felt that he should be treated. So I rushed home, without Ari, picked up the others and we went back up to Yale for the night. They decided again not to treat for Kawasaki - and due to the Memorial Day weekend, we could only get an Echo the next day. So we slept. Meanwhile, Noam is feeling better since he has now has 2 full doses of Meds and they are helping. The next day Noam got an Echo and we were discharged at about 4pm with a sigh of relief. No Kawasaki. No Memorial Day weekend for us. I got a call this past Friday 6/5. Noam had to go back up to Yale for a repeat Echo since somebody new took a look and was questioning the 'brightness'. We had to go right away. Can you imagine?? Anyway, all is well. The 2nd Echo was clear and his blood was back to normal. What an introduction to the health network in CT! Yesterday I noticed spots on Noam's hands and feet. Can we catch a break here?
