Lexie, my niece, was born July 22, 2007, Ike was born July 29, 2007, and Nic was born Aug 17, 2007. They all have RSV right now...How weird is that? My niece who is 5 also has it. I just thought it may be of interest to some of you to know a little bit about it.
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes an illness that usually resembles a moderate to severe cold and is very contagious. RSV most often resolves on its own and does not cause major health concerns. This infection can become a problem when it is severe or leads to complications. Babies (especially those born prematurely), people with immune system problems, people with heart or lung problems, and older adults have an increased risk of developing complications from RSV infection.

Also of interest is that once you get it, you will have RSV outbreaks for a few years. This is according to Isaac's doctor. She said everytime he gets a cold he will have the same RSV symptoms and will need his his breathing treatments. It is a miserable virus. My brother got it when he was younger and every year for the next four years or so, he got it again.
