Esme Is A-Okay!

Esme's in the clear!  She had her follow up appointment at Kapiolani Hospital on Oahu this week for her Kawasaki's Syndrome.  She had a repeat echocardiogram and EKG that showed a normal heart still and a good check-up with Dr Melish, the infectious disease specialist.  She also had a repeat blood draw but we're still waiting on those results.  Dr Melish wants us to stay on the aspirin just a little longer and then we'll stop.  I talked Esme through the entire blood draw and she did amazing.  She even requested a purple needle.  Ha ha!  She watched the guy do the whole thing and didn't even flinch or cry.  I was very impressed.  Now we just have to go back in 1 and 5 years to check her heart again.  Dr Melish told us that she's got a 2% chance of getting Kawasaki's again and Chan also has a 2% chance of getting it.  Yikes!
