On Jan 24th 2021 Novah my then 2 year old daughter started to have a fever and not eating like usual. If you know Novah she wants everything in sight ! But of course fevers are common so I start doing my home remedies on her (onion in the socks and popsicles) and Motrin to reduce the fever. We thought she had a lil fever from maybe cutting her very back teeth. Okay so a day go by still a fever of 103+ everytime I checked it. So at this point I’m worried because nothing is breaking her fever so we go to the hospital once I seen there was nothing I could do. So we head to immediate care they gave her Motrin (same thing I used at home) gave her a strep test and a Covid test. Strep was negative . We wait for Covid results while trying to keep her fever down at home. The following day she ran a fever all day long So here I am doing the home remedies again. Once I see it’s not helping again ! We go to Mary black. (We don’t know what the Covid results are at this point) But I’m noticing she’s coughing, won’t eat anything , won’t swallow even her spit NOTHING she couldn’t even drink her cup (which she really wanted) they checked her fever it was 105 !!!! They gave Morton got the fever down.. for then. they took blood, ran test and EVERYTHING COMES BACK NORMAL ! and I’m like HOW ! Something is wrong clearly!!! So they decide to do some culture test which would take a day or so to come back so with them not keeping patients over night we’re back at home again!!!!! So here we are now day 3. we wake up and same thing fever 104 ! except now her eyes are swollen and she won’t shut her hands and kept sayin they hurt and she had a red rash. So Mary black it is AGAIN! Okay so at this point I refused to go home until they figured it out. I told them straight up “I’ve had to bury one child I won’t be doing that again!!” Her Covid test were negative. And They clearly see she’s not getting any better and her fever won’t stay down so they admit her. But we have to be transferred to Spartanburg regional now. So she can stay overnight. We get there and her doctor told us that there is 2 things he think it could be one of them was (MISCovid) (basically Covid in children) and (Kawasaki’s disease) so here I am on google like what in the world is Kawasaki. And I get on there and see all this stuff about it affecting her little heart and how you can die from it �� (I shoulda never got on google) we immediately became scared... fast forward 2 days of being in the hospital her being stuck by needles every hour, an IV in her arm , SEVERAL blood test later, (because they kept saying they see something in her blood but don’t know what it is..) my baby just laid there helpless and weak for DAYS !!! And on FEB 2nd 2021 NOVAH was Diagnosed with Kawasaki’s Disease �� it’s not common here in the US, like so uncommon that they asked for permission to take pictures of her symptoms without showing her face for teaching and learning purposes! Once diagnosed they immediately started doing ultrasounds of her heart to make sure her little arteries hadn’t been affected by this.(she’s also has had 2 more test ran on her heart since leaving the hospital) Lord knows I was scared mama not knowing what was wrong with her and then after we found out what was wrong We really still didn’t know cause we’ve never heard of it ! We still don’t know if it’ll come back or not because they said that there is no cure just treatment for this disease.. she stayed 2 more days in the hospital to receive treatment. And soon after we seen results from this treatment she finally wanted to eat again I was waiting on that!! All I could do was hug my baby and tell her how much I loved her cause lord knows she scared us !� Those were the longest 10 days of my life. Kawasaki’s Disease Awareness Day is Jan 26th ! Crazy how she was fighting it that day ! But our girl Is Back And Better ❣️❤️ And me (mommy) just wants to be able to fund this “kickin Kawasaki 5K event) that I’ve found owned by this amazing organization whose son is also a Kawasaki warrior . it’s like a “relay for life” event but for this disease instead to raise AWARENESS since there isn’t a cure I just want as many parents to know about this disease as possible I’m already in touch with the foundation to make this event happen i just have to raise the money and get it going but since my husband lost his job when she went into the hospital we have been really focusiing to get our bills caught up with having 3 children and Covid and him losing his job (he has found and been at his new job now for almost 3 months) I said that to say that I’m not looking for money to pay my bills or take care of my children all funds raised will go into a account I have set up just for this cause. I thank everyone in advance who would like to help raise this very much needed awareness ! I’ve done more reasearch on this disease and there is a 12 day mark if your child is sick with this it’s important to know as soon as you start seeing their symptoms because after those 12 days the brain and heart damage become more severe ! Thankfully my novah was only at day 7 when we caught it. I just want to make sure that every child MEETS THAT MARK again I’m looking to RAISE AWARENESS AND MONEY FOR A EVENT TO ALSO RAISE AWARENESS !
