We have dealt with RSV. My youngest caught it at 2 weeks. For a week we went to the doctor every day for oxygen readings. The poor thing couldn’t keep anything done. As soon as she would eat, a coughing fit would begin and everything would come back up. Finally her dr decided ahe needed to be in the hospital. Worst experience ever. The hospital in our town was terrible. They had the anethesiologist in there trying to get an iv in to transport her to the childrens hospital 2 hours away. They ended up trying 5 times and shaving her hair before they got it. Hands down the worst experience I have ever had. 2 years later, she still gets a cough when she gets even the slightest cold and she has an extremely sensitive gag reflux. That stuff is nasty on babies. I had never hears about it until she had it. I grew up in the south where I guess it isn’t as common. Everyone where we lived knew exactly what it was.

Both Grandsons have had RSV. #1 Grandson TWICE. The 1st time he was only a few weeks old. Scary. They both have breathing issues and almost any common cold will trigger an asthma attack and the need to get out the nebulizer. At 5 the oldest has been less sick this winter. 🙁 Poor “T” the 2 yr old has had so many cold and ear infecttions. Got his tubes in last week. Sure hope they help. He is sucha trooper. Even hold th mask himself. Myself. I have had a cough/cold/virus sine the week before Christmas. I think I am nearly over it. Then last weeks sub-zero weather started me coughing and runny nose again! Today I ffeel pretty good, MAybe I am about done. Hope all are well at your household very soon. Big hugs….
