Weeks after thinking Caden was over the virus, he developed a high fever. Then, Caden's mother, Sarah Veysey, noticed a rash.
"It just looked weird. It was a spot., and I pulled his pajama shirt down, and there were spots all over his chest and back, and I thought something is not right,"
In the emergency room "they took his blood pressure," said Veysey. "His blood pressure was extremely low."
"He’s very lucky we got in early," said Veysey. "His heart got inflammation. The echocardiogram came out good. There are some children who have very serious heart injuries."
