Now Brody is hospitalized with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), a rare but serious inflammatory condition affecting children who have contracted coronavirus.
âWeâve all had the stomach flu,â she said, saying she had not known about MIS-C and its symptoms before her son became ill. âIt just quickly progressed from there without missing a beat. It was fast.â
Symptoms began with flu-like symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and a fever, which initially could be broken by giving the boy Tylenol. However, she said, her son began to complain about abdominal pain and his fever became more severe. By Sunday, he had a rash that covered his body and complained of joint pain so severe he could not walk.
