E. coli cause of kidney failure in Iowa child?

KSFY is reporting that a one-year-old boy from Sioux Center, Iowa is in a Sioux Falls hospital tonight, fighting hemolytic uremic syndrome or HUS.

His dad told Action News today that Isaiah is normally an active kid, but this has slown him down and their time in the hospital has been heart-wrenching saying "you never think you’re going to see your child in the hospital and the reality of it is, is that it can happen to anyone. … It’s hard on us, but with God’s help we’re doing OK."
