Coughs, Sneezes and RSV

I have always heard when one gets sick they all get sick. Well, it's true! It started with Dalton who tested positive for RSV (Respiratory Sycytial Virus). Yes, it is highly contagious. The symtoms include for most children, mild cold symptoms; however, it can also lead to pneumonia or bronchiolitis. Fortunately, Daltons symptoms did not reach his lungs and he only has a small ear infection and congestion with a pretty bad cough which causes him to gag a lot but he is doing better and is in pretty good spirits. Davis tested negative for RSV, but has a runny nose, sneezing and coughing and is pretty fussy. Cassidy has a runny nose and a cough and has been whining more than usual:) Mommy has a runny nose, sinus pressure and a headache and is also pretty fussy and whiney. Robert is the only one who is in the clear right now, but there is still time. My advice: stay away, stay very far away.
