Thoughts and Prayers needed

One of my cousins little boys has been sick for while and he was finally diagnosed with Kawasaki disease (yes it's real). It can cause inflammation of the blood vessels, particularly of the coronary arteries which could lead to heart attacks and aneurysms. It is treatable and if treated early enough there should be no long term complication. The key word being if treated early. At this time they don't know if any damage has occurred once they get it under control then they will see what/ if any damage was caused.for more info you can read it here.......(http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/heart/kawasaki.html)

So please keep Gage in your thoughts and prayers, thank you.

OMG- That is so sad...I always feel so sad when little kids are sick. I don't ever wish that upon anyone. I hope all goes well and they get some good news!
