Henoch-Schonlein Purpura is not a rare disease but also not all that common and not what the family expected. They thought Tyson had come down with the flu during hockey season. He wasn\u2019t feeling well after a game and was sick that night. He had already been battling an asthmatic condition since he was very young.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the flu-like symptoms, Tyson had developed a rash on his legs that spread up his body. He developed kidney damage and painful bowels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was one of the worst cases of the disease the Orillia hospital had ever seen,\u201d said Lindsay. \u201cHe had to be put on morphine and prednisone for the pain. He was in and out of hospital for two weeks. He had pain in his joints and couldn\u2019t walk for four days. He had no strength and we had to carry him back and fourth to the bathroom. He couldn\u2019t go to school and couldn\u2019t play hockey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when he did go back after six weeks he had a couple of episodes when his kidneys spiked. He had blood in his urine, so we had to take it down a notch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow it looks like his body is going to repair itself but it&#8217;s an on going battle. In most kids it\u2019s short lived but it can recur for years. He needs to drink a lot of water. He gets frustrated and there is is no rhyme nor reason why it comes and goes. It just does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyson was determined to get back on the floor and play lacrosse. He attended the four weeks of tryouts but then had to step back when the problems returned and he needed a kidney biopsy. After assessing the findings doctors gave Tyson the go ahead to play lacrosse and he is back.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson is again doing what he likes best and that\u2019s playing lacrosse. He was a member of last year\u2019s Tyke C championship team and is playing with the Huntsville Novice Rep team this year wearing sweater number 18.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16479\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16479\" class=\"wp-image-16479 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/06\/Novice-rep-2016.jpeg\" alt=\"Novice rep 2016\" width=\"720\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/06\/Novice-rep-2016-300x122.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/06\/Novice-rep-2016.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tyson (third from right behind the goalies) and his Novice Rep teammates.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He can\u2019t wait to compete and refuses to shy away from the rough play despite his recovery.
