!!!! I am so sorry to hear that!!!! I have heard of another child who is in the hospital near me with RSV? Do you know about this illness? I actually was around my 2 year old grand niece a week and a half ago who had a bad cough - she has not had to go to the hospital with hers - is getting better - but I came down with something that has literally taken my breath away - bad cough but I can't breathe and nothing the doctor has given me to take or to do has helped.....I am getting a bit concerned. They did a chest xray and it's not pneumonia - and I am on an antibiotic and prednisone - and Advair - but as I said nothing seems to help the breathing!!!

I will definitely be praying for your little nephes!!! Hard!!! I know how bad it is now - not to be able to get a breath....this is the first time in my life of having something like this and it's not fun.

Goodness, I wonder what the problem is. First thing I thought was pneumonia but you said they ruled that out. Keep us posted, OK. Prayers for you, too.

I know it's a respiratory virus that mainly strikes infants. It's that time of year for upper respiratory infections and the like. I hope you feel better soon! Mucinex really, really helps with the phlegm and mucus in your chest and you can get without a prescription.
