I’m so sorry that you went through this. I hope your children have recovered okay!

It is so scary. I just had my fifth child two wks ago today and we found out him and my fifteenth month old has RSV. My newbie Apollo had to be hospitalized because they didn’t wanna take a chance even tho at the time his oxygen level was 99 and he was sounding good. We’ve been in this hospital since Monday morning and we were gonna be sent home today but the doc wanted to make sure Apollo could be taken off the oxygen while sleep and it not drop from 90’s to 80’s. He did ok today better than yesterday but it still wasn’t where they wanted it to be. Their main concern is it being low while he’s asleep. Reading ur story actually soothed and educated me. I am so scared for Apollo I just don’t want it to turn into anything else. My fifteenth month old Akylez is doing good. He is older so it’s not as bad on him thank God. I pray everything works out for my boys. Thanks for sharing your story.

Whether it’s your first or fifth, it’s so scary to have a little one in the hospital. It will be okay! Definitely don’t let them send you home until you feel ready <3

So sorry to hear that but glad they’re doing better. I’m just so nervous about going home he does sound much better I’m just terrified. He is my 5th child but first time going through this.

Oh my! That sounds so hard. I’m so sorry. Both of my son’s came home on oxygen because their sats were dropping to the low 80s/high 70s still. Jack was on oxygen for about two weeks, Oliver was for about a week.

We came in on November 17th 2018 and currently still here. They’ve had him on oxygen but currently took him off to see how he does. His level are at 89 and 90 but they say he’s starting to look good if we want to try to go home we can. I told them will stay another day to monitor it to make sure he does good. This post was very informational thank you. Also what were your boys levels when y’all went home? My son is eating and pooping and peeing well. I’m just worried because his cough is still really ugly?

Thanks for commenting! I hope they’ll be able to make a drug like that available for all soon! Such a scary illness.

I was a peds nurse on a respiratory floor for three years and RSV (and flu) season are no joke. We sometimes had to send kids to the ICU for being so sick from it. Even older kids can have complications, especially if they’re asthmatic or have other pulmonary issues.

Hopefully someone will be able to make a similar drug to Synagis soon so it will be widely available. The patents are expired but it’s apparently a lot of work to produce something similar. We can only hope!

So I went with my gut and rushed him to the local ER. They did a swab for influenzas, and RSV. The test came back negative for influenza and positive for RSV. My heart raced and I began to google and I freaked out and put the phone away. They sent him home with a nebulizer. The albuterol seems to help him a lot. He does tend to get a little agitated but not too bad. His oxygen has been in the 90’s and he is staying hydrated and plenty of wet diapers. So I hope and pray he stays on this path to healing and out of the hospital. 90% of the time we stay home, my kiddos are kept away from brother when they are sick, but my youngest daughter had a cold a week ago, this time she wasn’t listening to mommy about staying away from brother. So I’m sure that’s probably where he got it. ? He has been through so much already it breaks my heart to see him go through another thing.
