I talked to molly today and she asked me to post this for you all. She will be gone for a little bit because her 18 month old nephew passed away on the 15th. He passed away from hemolytic uremic syndrome, post diarrheal . Not sure what it is. This is what she sent me, though it makes not a lot of sense: clinical description: hemolytic uremic syndrome (hus) is characterized by the acute onset of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, renal injury, and low platelet count. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (ttp) is also characterized by these features but also can include central nervous system involvement and fever, and may have a more gradual onset. Most cases of hus (but few cases of ttp) occur after an acute gastrointestinal illness (usually diarrheal). Only hus or ttp occurring after an acute diarrheal illness is reportable

anyway, my prayers are with molly....This is so sad! A poor little boy!
