On 14/11/2016 (Monday), the doctors decided they would give him a second dose of IVIG. It was administered at night and treatment was completed at 3.45am on Tuesday morning.
The whole of Tuesday (15/11), he did not have any fever. So if by today (16/11) 3.45pm (36 hours after IVIG), and his fever does not return. Then his kawasaki disease is likely to be fully gone.
However, his adenovirus count is still high. It dropped from 5 to 4, based on the blood taken on 14/11. But a fully recovered person should have 0 in their blood. We are really reluctant to give him another dose of cidofovir, given its potential damages to his kidneys. We shall see what the doctors advise later.
Clinically, M is getting stronger, eating and playing more, sleeping less and is responsive to our questions. He would smile and laugh and babble some funny stuff. It makes us so so happy to see him slowly recover. He is no longer on drip nor on Ventolin puffs.
On 14/11, the doctors came by, listened to him and told us that he had an "extra heart sound", a gallop. We were devastated. It seemed like it never rains but it pours. He was sent for a 2D echo of his heart. Thankfully the doctor who saw him said it didn't seem to be anything serious. On 15/11, the doctors came by again, and they confirmed the extra heart sound is gone. One of them was relatively amazed and said to me,"I can't explain it."
I can. This is the power of God. For He is our Healer. Thank you Lord.
