On Wednesday I brought my son back to his doctor like the doctor had asked me to on Wednesday. His RSV got worse which tends to happen around day 3 to 7 of it. Once at the doctors office I got a feeling in my stomach that he wasn't going to be going home that day with me that we where going to be spending the day at the hospital to help with his breath. My feeling turned out to be right. As I was talking to the doctor she and I agreed that it would be best that he spend the night at the hospital for a little help.
At first she was telling we would have to go over in the emergency vechical but she let me drive over since it was across the street and my car was right outside of the door. So I drove him there got in did our paper work and waited in the ER for them to help make him better. It took them hours to get an IV in to my little guy because he was dehydrated and not a lot of his vaines are not at the surface yet or might not ever. Once they got in that in we where admitted up stairs to a room and he was taken care of all night. I stayed because I had to with him because of isolation orders of anyone being in contact with them had to stay that was there already when he was admited so that we would get germs all over the place. Yesterday we got to come home and he is doing much better now. He has to have a nebulizer ever 4 hours for his cough and wheezing but he is getting slowly better and I know it might take a while till he is fully back to himself.

Kids may not necessarily tell their parents or other adults such as caregivers or coaches, but children who are excluded from peers or dont have friends at child care or school could suffer lasting psychological damage. Peer rejection can come in the form of not sitting with others at a table, being excluded from games or social times such as recess or outdoor play, or not having anyone in a class or group who interacts with them in any way. Here are ways adults can react to help resolve this problem.You are right, perhaps in my childhood years I have the same moments too. But it should be avioded as much as possible.Also my suggestion is need to be very careful when these things are happen in any situation.

What the heck are you talking about because I don't see what you are saying have to do with the topic or what I was talking about.
MY son is 5 months old he doesn't have any phycological damage for spending a night in the hospital because he had a very bad virus that in some case kill babies. I don't see what peers have to do with this at all or anything of what you just said. People get rsv all of the time depending on the age of the person the sytopmes get less or more bother some. Children under the age of 2 will get it more often then people over the age of 2 because of there lugs being much bigger and stronger. For those it's just another cold, but anyone that has will spread it before they feel sick.

I do consider myself and my children to be lucky that we never had to deal with RSV (especially my daughter since she was slightly premature). However, my youngest niece did have to go through RSV when she was a baby. Now her doctor did admit her to the hospital over night, but they did not have her in isolation. They did send her home with a nebulizer and steroids to help her to feel better. She was able to recover fairly quickly and now she is a very healthy and happy one and a half year old child.

A lot of people get it and just think it's a cold and it's not. Yeah preemies are more likely to get it and most kids get it before they are 2 after they are 2 rsv just a nasty little cold. Everyone hospital is different. This one because of the flu being so bad they are keeping all the kids that are very contagious in isolation since the RSV can give a person pneumonia and bronchitis.
Yeah the doctor says some recovery really quick and others don't.

My second child was always in the hospital when he was a kid. he has asthma. And every time that asthma attacks, I really feel like crying coz i could just see ow difficult it is more him to breath. And yes, that nebulizer has always been a part of his life. Now he is 14 years old. Good thing that he rarely has the need to use the nebulizer.

This isn't asthma related but it is possibel that he might have it, since it does run in the family. My dad has asthma, so does my brother but my other brother doesn't. I have excerise asthma or asthma that acts up when there is house mold. Hopefully he won't have to go back because of rsv.
