Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell is revealing more information about his son Baylee's medical condition after the six-year-old was hospitalized last week. In a personal blog post, Brian writes that Baylee was released from a hospital in Atlanta, GA on Saturday. "Before being admitted, Baylee had been treated for or thought to have had strep throat, hand, foot, mouth disease and erythema multiforme. After receiving a biopsy, blood tests, an EKG and 2 echocardiograms, Baylee was finally diagnosed with A-Typical Kawasaki Disease," Brian writes. The blog entry explains that Kawasaki Disease causes inflammation in the coronary arteries as well as the walls of small and medium sized arteries throughout the body. Baylee received a treatment to bring down the inflammation in his coronary arteries and will be closely monitored for the next 6-8 weeks to see if the treatment was effective, according to the singer. Brian and his wife Leighanne thank everyone who prayed for his son and for many supportive emails and phone calls. "We are humbled by the love and compassion that people have for our son all over the world, thank you!"
