Not Just Kids

It's not just kids. My husband wound up in the hospital for 3 days with RSV. We had gone to meet a friend whose daughter had RSV. We were bringing a meal to the family and the easiest place to meet was the children's hospital in town. We wore masks and washed after and we only saw our friend, not his little girl. Two days later my hubby couldn't get his breathing under control. Here they test everyone who is sick. Sure enough, he had RSV.

  1. - Thanks for sharing this bit of info with us here in the community. Normally RSV in adults is pretty mild and acts like a mild cold, but if individuals have chronic illnesses or it goes on longer than it should, it can be much worse for them - possibly getting pneumonia or an infection. I sure hope your husband is currently well and has gotten over it quickly enough. Hoping the family stayed well through this all Rebecca (comm advc)
