My son had this 6 years ago at age 1. Thank god we were on vacation in Florida, ended up at the Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital in Orlando. He was in great care and pulled through. Happy and healthy 7 yr old. Scary scary and helpless feeling for a parent.

Been there 23 years ago w my 2 mo old twins. So scary, we & others were isolated, I stayed to breastfeed them & look after them as hospital was full. A baby died on 2nd day there which had all parents frantic. I’d never heard of RSV before. My prayers to all.
