    Hi Jenny,

    I am so sorry to hear about your little boy. This is a heart breaking illness. I would recommend you read some of our previous posts. He is going to have regular follow ups with his Pediatrician to check his kidney function and other labs. Since he cannot tell you how he feels, you will have to be observant and keen to his symptoms and treat them as they come. There is a huge array of symptoms. Unfortunately some children get some and others don't. My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed earlier this year and she has improved significantly. However, sacrifices were made to ensure she wasn't exposed to germs unnecessarily because illness triggered her HSP symptoms. I hope I was able to help.
