Liam is living with the most serious heart complications due to Kawasaki Disease (KD). Children with coronary aneurysms are faced with a lifetime of medication and increased risk of blood clots, stenosis, ischemic heart disease and premature atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of heart attack.

Liam is only 5 years old and was born with a healthy heart.

In July of 2006, he was diagnosed with KD. As a result, Liam has many coronary aneurysms. When a clot was discovered in one of the aneurysms he was immediately admitted to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, where measures were taken to help dissolve it.

Liam now takes anti-coagulant medication and is prescribed high dose aspirin. He will be on heart medication for the rest of his life. During a follow-up angiogram doctors discovered that Liam had also suffered a heart attack. Many children with acquired heart disease will never be able to participate in contact sports, experience roller coasters, ski nor do any other high risk injury activities most young people enjoy participating in.
Now in 2009 Liam is having open heart surgery.

Pray for him.

Janet, Martin & Lawrence
