(When I lived in Philly they had folding chairs in the hospital main entrance, no lie.) Not that your co-worker's comment should be excused, but I'm glad your LO has a mild case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-child-had-rsv#post-779050 Mon, 13 May 2013 19:01:23 +0000 Boheme 779050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor little guy! I hope he clears up quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-child-had-rsv#post-779032 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:49:06 +0000 LinzR 779032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A close friends son just had RSV and he was back to himself in no time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-child-had-rsv#post-779014 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:44:28 +0000 hilsy85 779014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry he's sick! I hope he feels better soon :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-child-had-rsv#post-779013 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:43:36 +0000 ladyfingers 779013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: Thanks! He is doing much better today and is basically just stuffed up. We've gotten a lot of reassuring information on his condition and the virus, so we're feeling a lot more comfortable than we were this weekend! I'll just be happy when he can sleep more than a few hours at a time without having his nose Hoovered out (which he haaates). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-child-had-rsv#post-779007 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:39:34 +0000 MrsRcCar 779007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some people just need to keep their mouth closed!! I am sorry your lo is sick. I hope to see a new thread soon that says your lo is all better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-my-child-had-rsv#post-778990 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:32:55 +0000 ladyfingers 778990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has RSV, and he's been checked out by his primary care physician, another doctor at the practice, and an ER doctor. That's right, we had to take him to the ER yesterday because he was having chest retractions. But they have all said he's fine (albeit sick) and the symptoms he's having are mild and simply typical of RSV. Still, taking a 3-month-old baby to the ER on Mother's Day and having to hold a mask spewing Albuterol on his face while he wails and hold him down while they deep suction his sinuses and obsessively watch the O2 monitor for three hours... was nervewracking to say the least.</p> <p>So when I got to work today and a coworker asked how he was and I told her he was a little under the weather and had caught RSV at daycare, I really didn't need to hear this response:</p> <p>"Oh my God! When my youngest had RSV, he ended up in the hospital in an oxygen tent for 10 days! And was asthmatic until he was 8!"</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
