Nate developed a cough that turned nasty on Sunday so we decided to take him to the Dr today. Of course Dr. Ori walks in and says, "That's a RSV cough if I've ever heard one." Great, starting early little man. Don't Google RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) it will scare you, just know it is an infection of the lungs that can cause big problems if not treated. Yes, he is more prone to it since he was premature. So armed with 3 prescriptions for Nate and 1 for Juliet we are 5 days on the nebulizer and prednisone with little man. He hates that stuff just as bad as everyone else, and we are only on day one. Since RSV is highly contagious, Mommy and Nate are home together this week, so glad we didn't go to church yesterday!
Keep us all in your prayers!! Love to all!
Info on RSV: All you need to know.
RSV is the most common germ that causes lung and airway infections in infants and young children. Most infants have had this infection by age 2. Outbreaks of RSV infections most often begin in the fall and run into the spring. RSV often spreads very rapidly in crowded households and day care centers. The virus can live for a half an hour or more on hands. The virus can also live for up to 5 hours on counter tops and for several hours on used tissues.
