Macy is home, healthy and HAPPY!

Big brother is happy to have her home too. She pulled through and proved what a little fighter she is. We are so humbled and honored at all the prayers that have been sent up for her over the last few weeks. Who knew that such a common virus could be so dangerous? I've learned of so many little ones lately who are battling with RSV. The ERs seem to be very fickle with how they handle this illness. If you have a little one who you think might have RSV, don't relent with their medical care...get a second opinion if you're not satisfied with the first. Macy went from fine, to bad, to worse, to complete respiratory failure in a 48 hour period. RSV is aggressive and can be FATAL!! Trust your Mommy insticts and get the care you little one needs no matter what...they are counting on you to stand in the gap for them. I really can't help but think that the mass recall of ALL infant decongestants has a direct link to the increase in severe RSV cases among infants. I wish I were a medical researcher...I'd be very interested to know if there is a statistical correlation. If anyone has done any type of study on this topic, I'd love to hear about your findings!
