Brian Littrell of Backstreet Boys has added to his blog so fans can stay on top of his 6 year-old son Baylee's medical situation. Happily, the boy was released from an Atlanta hospital on Saturday.
"Before being admitted, Baylee had been treated for or thought to have had strep throat, hand, foot, mouth disease and erythema multiforme," the singer wrote. "After receiving a biopsy, blood tests, an EKG and 2 echocardiograms, Baylee was finally diagnosed with A-Typical Kawasaki Disease."
