RSV. Not a Good Thing AT ALL.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Its gotten the best of my baby boy.

here is a link in case you wanna know more about it:


Zacorro, himself has had a cough for just over a month now. About a week and a half ago he started getting really congested and having a runny nose. Then the past four days, he's had a fever. He has a ton on mucus build-up in the nose and throat. I know this sounds crazy, but once you do a CF project in Anatomy, it kind of freaks you out. Lol. Anyways, I made him an appointment this morning and I went to the office and they said I didn't make an appointment. I got pissed and I was like screw it, I'm going to the hospital. I mean they didn't even want to try and fit him in. Well as soon as we got there they took us back and started right away with tests. His temperature was 101.2. He weighs 18.4 lbs. He had a saline nose flush to test for RSV. He had a bag attached to him so they could test for a UTI. And he had a chest x-ray to check for anything that might be visible that maybe they couldn't hear. Pretty much the only thing that was for sure was lil man came back positive for RSV. && its making him miserable.

I hate having him so sick. Its breaking my heart<3
