RSV

Today we decided Aniston needed to be seen by the doctor. She developed a cough and runny nose a couple of days ago. She probably caught it from Big Bro who just had an ear infection and upper respiratory infection.

She tested positive for RSV. So far she doesn’t have the severe symptoms and I hope and pray she doesn’t get them. We were told to watch her closely for changes in her breathing patterns, loss of appetite, restlessness, etc. And if we notice these things, we are to take her to the ER. She could possibly need to be put on oxygen.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very common virus that leads to mild, cold-like symptoms in adults and older healthy children. It can be more serious in young babies, especially to those in certain high-risk groups.
