#209...and W. stands for ...wild haikus....LOL
My mom just called. My little nephew Jacob has HUS again. We just went out to dinner Saturday night as a family, and my sister-in-law brought him, he was so healthy looking and happy. And then yesterday, he started with a little cold. Apparently with the familial HUS, either an illness can trigger it, or it runs on a course. It looks as if he may get it about every two months from the start of the previous episode. They won't put him in the hospital until he needs a blood transfusion, which will probably be tomorrow. If I could ask for all your prayers again...
The prognosis for recurring familial HUS is not good. About 1/3 of the kids die, many more have permanent kidney damage. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and prayers.
