Winter illness season is brutal for everyone...including pediatricians. We eagerly look forward to April.
7:10 am

mom + dad are just recovering from the flu.
luckily, we managed to protect little man from it, but hes still coughing from his RSV.
ive got an appt on wednesday for him to get a followup checkup.
7:11 am
Scrabbler
Last week we sent a 12 day old by ambulance to our children's hospital with RSV and the next day he was on a ventilator. Poor baby and parents.
7:11 am
EvaNadine
oh dear. thats just heartbreaking!
7:15 am
Scrabbler
We have had several very young infants (< 1 mo) hospitalized with RSV. The hospital has been packed, with beds placed in newly opened patient units for the winter.
