4 y.o. DJ Brunson developed high fevers, lethargy and became severely ill from multisystem inflammatory syndrome due to COVID. "It was one of the most gut-wrenching, heart-wrenching experiences that I've ever had." said mom #KidsLivingWithCovidabc.net.au/news/2022-01-2…
“You’re talking about a four-year-old kid who wants to run around and play. That’s all he wanted to do, was just get up and get out of bed.”
DJ is fully recovered from his MIS-C and back to the spunky little boy his parents are used to.
“DJ is such a ball of inquisitive energy that keeps us busy from day to day (always an adventure). He'll be five in a few weeks and loves everything Thomas the Train and Monster Jam trucks," said Mom.
