RSV Go Away

Madilyn has been really sick the last few days, along with the rest of the family.  Anyway, she officially has her first case of RSV.  The doctor checked her oxygen levels, and they were below normal, and as for her breathing, it didn't sound good.  So she has to use the neubilizer every 4 hours with Albuterol treatments.  Poor girl, she is such a trooper, and I just hate when she isn't feeling well.  She really hates having the neubilizer mask on for 20 minutes at a time, and cries during the treatment.  We have to be super careful cuz for Madilyn it can easly turn into pneomonia.  Hopefully this will help her breathing and we can avoid having her stay overnight at the hospital.  RSV is the pits! 

Preventing RSV

Because RSV can be easily spread by touching infected people or surfaces, frequent hand washing is key in preventing its transmission. Try to wash your hands after having any contact with someone who has cold symptoms. And keep your school-age child with a cold away from younger siblings — particularly infants — until the symptoms pass.
