Just in case this hasen't been mentioned already somewhere.

It is well known that children undergoing chelation therapy
should recieve CaEDTA not Na2EDTA.. Because of Hypocalcemia.

This article in MMWR details the inappropriate use of Na2EDTA chelation therapy for adults in children .

The only agent recommended for intravenous
(IV) chelation therapy for children is CaEDTA (1). However, hospital formularies usually stock multiple chelation agents.

One such agent,
Na2EDTA, was formerly used for treatment of hypercalcemia, but its use has become infrequent because of concerns
regarding nephrotoxicity and because of the availability of less toxic alternatives.
And its use is not recommended because it induces hypocalcemia
and possibly fatal tetany.

Not good to use in the case of children.
CaEDTA should be used instead.

Health-care providers and pharmacists should ensure that Na2EDTA is not administered to children during chelation therapy.

Just in case I thought I'd post this.
