It’s awful right now. We just had our third baby and our kindergartener had to stay home sick with us the day we brought him home from the hospital after he was born. He caught RSV at 1.5 weeks old from her and is just now recovering at 3 weeks.

Thankfully he didn’t need a hospital stay, but I did take him to the doctor 3 times during it to check his oxygen and lungs. I’m glad they found a bed for this sweet baby. I do not recommend having a baby in the fall. 👎🏼

OMG, I can't imagine what you all went through! I'm very glad to read your baby is recovering.

Thank you! The worst part is that there are rapid RSV tests available but his, along with other kids our pediatrician tested last week, had false negatives. By the time his PCR came through with results he was well past the peak. Still gave us a big scare, especially since the news and media are saturated with warnings right now.
