Justin woke up this morning with a really high fever of 102 and just not felling good so I called the Dr they got us at 4:30 and she said he probably had the virus that is going around then she said " You know what I think I want to do the RSV test on him it takes about 20 minutes" so we say ok well it came back positive for RSV, so he is on two breathing treatments every 6 hours and she said he would be out of school for up to 3 weeks and he can not be around any one but us.
Please keep in him in your prayers.
Thank you, Becky

Wow! Its good that your doc caught it. Sounds like he's on the right path to getting well. My Grandaughter had RSV, and they did the same for her. She was sick about 1-2 weeks, but fully recovered. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was told by the oncologist, when John had it; that anyone could get it. We that are older just carry it like a cold, but can be devistating to children w/autoimmune issues. And of course premies (sp).

Becky,
How is John doing? RSV can be such a miserable thing. Ethan had it at six weeks old, and we feared it would be the end of him.
I'm as surprised as A. that he has it at eight years old, I had the same information, that anyone at any age can get it, but that most of us have had exposure to it much earlier than 8 years of age. I'm glad that he is older, and not an infant. Hopefully you'll be able to keep an older child out of the hospital. Please let us know how he's doing!

Hugs and prayers going your way. Adam got RSV at the age of 7 mth. He also had a pneumonia at the time he got it, o we almost lost him, From what I was told then it is dangerous in babies younger then a year old. Still you need to watch for symptoms of pneumonia. Hugs and hope he gets better soon.

Hello everyone. Just had to say i hope Justin gets better soon! This post caught my attention because i am also a member of most DS groups on the cafemom and there was a mom who had posted that she had lost her son late saturday night to RSV. He was 18 months old and was sick for 3 weeks battling RSV and a blood infection. So sad! RSV seems to be going around alot of kids sick with this! Anyways sending lots of hugs and prayers your way Justin!

RSV is scary. Abby was about eight months old when she was hospitalized with RSV and stayed for 10 days. Abby got some kind of monthly injection that was supposed to help her ward off RSV and seemed to work except for the one time. I'll keep your little one in my prayers.
