A woman whose young child was diagnosed with the same rare disease as Mrs Hinch’s son described her little boy's battle as a ''terrifying experience''.
Ella Castle-Parker's one-year-old son Caleb was diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease (KD) in November 2022 after he developed bloodshot eyes, visible rashes, and redness on his lips. KD is a potentially life threatening condition, usually found in children under five, which causes swelling of the blood vessels throughout the body.
Ella and her partner, James Elderkin, both 28, visited Croydon University Hospital A&E, but were sent home and asked to return if the symptoms persisted. Two days later his condition deteriorated when he developed a constant 40-degree fever, as well as swollen hands and feet.
