Well it has been a whirlwind of a month. We welcomed the adorable baby Tommy into the world but unfortunately, Meg fractured her pelvis, requiring her to be on bedrest. Nana and Grandpa saved the day by taking Michael and Molly so that Megan would actually stay in bed.

Meg then went to Boston for a couple of weeks and she and the kids had a wonderful time seeing relatives and friends. Unfortunately, Michael spent much of his time fighting off a fever that wouldn't go away. Doctor's repeatedly thought Michael had a viral infection but his mom knew better. Thanks to her persistence, Children's Hospital in Boston determined that Michael had Kawasaki disease - a condition that causes inflammation of the arteries. They treated Michael over the weekend and released him on Sunday. He was so good - allowing the team to take blood, insert IV's, and proving to be his friendly self, all while battling this. No one could believe that someone in such good spirits could be as sick as he was.

Michael, his mom and dad, and Molly and Tommy all headed back to New York. Sunday night, Michael got sick again and was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian. They believe that the first treatment did not work and so have given him another. If this doesn't work, they will consider using steroids to fight the disease.

The good news is that while the test results from Children's said this was a severe case of the disease, Columbia Hospital ran additional tests and does not think this is a severe case. While Michael's left coronary artery is inflamed, it is hopeful that the treatment will reverse this. They will be performing another echocardiogram to confirm all of this, but we are grateful for this turn.

Michael is amazing. He is friendly with all of the doctors and nurses and meets new friends around every corner. He keeps telling everyone that they need to meet his new baby brother and sister. Meg and Tom are keeping him occupied and entertained at the hospital, where he'll be through Thursday at least. They are so grateful that Nana and Grandpa are here to hold up the fort.

Thanks for all of your prayers and thoughts. While this is still a serious condition, Michael once again manages to fight back with the will of a tiger and the sweet smile of a little boy defying odds.
