[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, we came home yesterday! Spent a long time sleeping since then lol. We are still waiting for the Acute Rheumatic Fever labs to get back. If they are positive he has to have a shot pf penicillin monthly till he is 21, which in the large scale of life is not that bad. If its negative we are thinking its MIS-C. He had a lot of boxes checked off for MIS-C, but there is no yes/no diagnosis at this time. Lyme has been negative x 3, we can always get it tested again in a few weeks if it takes that long to show up. Really the best case scenario is MIS-C at this point. Will post when I have the results back. Thank you all for your support during a scary and stressful time!!![/quote]

Congratulations! I am the person whose kid had a variety of terrible things who wrote. For what it's worth, and apologies for injecting uncertainty, but we were told that our child had MIS-C but that a lot of MIS-C is about "checking the boxes," in the sense that they make the diagnostic criteria deliberately vague so that cases are caught... and that this doesn't mean that your kid necessarily has the 'spirit' of the disease, if that makes sense.[/quote]
