Thanks it seems to bee better than expected, the doctors seem to agree that he got something called Kavasaki.
Cant say what it is in english, more than it has to bee some kind of infection in the blood system near the heart but aperantly not the blood.
This comes from Japan were it is alot more common.
In Sweden it is more than uncomon, they had to call in 5 doctors to agree what to do and then the medical has to bee manufactured during the night.

Death rate seem to bee 1-2% but more due to complication after the treatment, so he has to go to a heart specialist afterwards for some time to come.

I am very lucky to live in Sweden were this will be paid by the state and the county were I live.

Lot's of good info on Kawasaki Disease on the internet including some support groups for parents of kids who have the disease.

Kids are tough, he'll live.:)

I have a cousin who the doctors said wouldn't live past his 7th birthday (he was just a baby then) because of a serious heart problem (valves not working properly), they wanted to operate but the death rate of that was 50% so my aunt and uncle decided not to do it. He turned 22 this April.:)

You're right about the 'lucky to live in Sweden'-thingy, that's why I never grumble about paying my taxes.
