RSV Warning! *Update*

Hi. As many of you know RSV is going around this year very strong. Our DD was has been sick for a little over a week now. It started as a fever for a few days and then developed into cold like symptoms then a bad cough. I took her to the Ped twice for the fever but she didn't have any other symptoms at the time. Then on Christmas Eve into Christmas it got so much worse so first thing the next morning I rushed her back to the Ped who did a nebulizer treatment and sent me straight to ER.
Once here they ran a culture and diagnosed her with Adenovirus and RSV. A chest X-ray also showed some pneumonia bruying. We were admitted a few hours later and have been here for a little over 24 hours now.
DD is doing better but they want to monitor her breathing a little more (wheezing has stopped, thankfully) but she's still breathing a bit hard. She's also not eating well at all. She is however in good spirits and coughing less. They are monitoring the progress of the culture as well to see if it's developing it staying as is.
I write this just as a Motherly warning to not ignore the signs as all the Peds in the hospital have told me that it's so bad this year and quickly progressing into differnt virus and some even pneumonia like our DD. Wishing all your Babies health. Please keep our DD in your prayers for a speedy recovery and a release home soon.
Update: We were discharged a couple of hours ago, thank God! While she's still pretty congested, her lungs sound much better. She is also eating again, not a lot but enough to keep her hydrated. We were told the cough can linger for up to a month but that overall we should see improvement every few days. They sent us home with a nebulizer and script for the albuterol. She also has to take antibiotics for 5 more days. Please keep her in your T&P so that she is able to continue recovering here at home and we don't have to take her back.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WELL WISHES!
