Tomisaku Kawasaki

I just revisited old memories of our son being diagnosed with Kawasaki syndrome by an incredibly talented nurse at Group Health /Seattle. He is in his 30's now. He became very ill at 3-1/2 (incredibly healthy, physically athletic young one) and we thought it was a terrible cold, flu or infection invasion. Quite a few trips to the clinic. Finally, at one visit, where his swollen mouth and swollen hands and feet were obvious - she said, "I have a possible theory and cause. I have seen this recently. (turns out a wave of this hit the Seattle area) I was just researching Kawasaki Syndrome. Let's get on with checking for this." Turns out - that was it! And he was hospitalized and given the aspirin and immunogobulin treatments. They monitored his heart for a few years - treadmill, etc. He is one of the most active and global travelling young people we know. We are forever in debt to and thankful for Dr. Kawasaki and his work. I hope his family sees this and knows how special he was to so many.

To the family, many, many friends and colleagues of this wonderful man Mr. Tomisaku Kawasaki fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. We hope many of the encouraging words and thoughts on this site comforts you during this difficult time also. His love and contribution as a pediatrician who was the first to identify the inflammatory syndrome in children that helped save many lives. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives.

My deepest condolences to the family. May you find comfort in your treasured memories of Your loved one and May God continue to comfort you in the days, months and years ahead
