From the Littrells: Baylee Update

On Saturday December 20, 2008, Baylee T W Littrell was released from Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Atlanta.

Before being admitted Baylee had been treated for or thought to have had strep throat, hand, foot, mouth disease and erythema multiforme. After receiving a biopsy, blood tests, an EKG and 2 echocardiograms, Baylee was finally diagnosed with A-Typical Kawasaki Disease. We would like to stress A-Typical because Baylee did not have text book symptoms of any of the viruses they thought he had.

Kawasaki Disease causes inflammation in the coronary arteries as well as the walls of the small and medium sized arteries throughout the body. Unfortunately, Baylee's coronary arteries were affected. He received an IVIG, which is a treatment to bring down the inflammation in his coronary arteries. Baylee will be closely monitored for the next 6-8 weeks by a Pediatric Cardiologist to see if the treatment was effective.

We want to thank every one who prayed for us as well as all of the emails and phone calls. Your love and support means so much to our family. The Hospital Staff were absolutely amazing. They made an extremely difficult time in our lives as comfortable as possible.

We are humbled by the love and compassion that people have for our son all over the world, thank you!

Brian and Leighanne Littrell

稍微翻譯:

2008年12月20日星期六下午，Baylee從亞特蘭大的Scottish Rite兒童醫院出院了。

在他被送入院之前，Baylee因為鏈球菌感染喉嚨、四肢與口腔，加上患有多形性紅斑
(erythema multiforme)，便一直針對這些症狀治療--或以為是這些症狀。但經過接受
活組織切片檢查法、血液測試、心電圖檢查和心臟超音波檢查後，Baylee終於被診斷出
罹患非典型川崎病(A-Typical Kawasaki Disease)。我們想強調"非典型"因為Baylee並
沒有出現書上記載的症狀。

川崎病會引起冠狀動脈發炎，也會讓全身較小、中型的血管壁產生發炎。很不幸的，
Baylee的冠狀動脈已經被感染了。他接受了靜脈注射型免疫球蛋白(IVIG)，這種治療可以
幫助降低冠狀動脈的發炎。在接下來的6到8周，Baylee會被小兒心臟科醫生緊密地觀察，
看看治療是否成功。

我們要感謝所有為我們祈禱的人，也謝謝你們的email和來電。你們的愛與支持對我們的
家庭很重要。醫院的人們非常了不起，他們幫助我們盡可能舒服自在地度過這段極為艱辛
的時期。

我們謙卑地接受全世界人們為我們的兒子的愛與關心，謝謝!
