My wife and I had twins on 7/25 and both of them caught RSV from their older brother after 6 days of being home. One spent 30 days in the NICU at Children’s hospital... the other, 14 days. Oxygen and a feeding tube. What sucks is there’s no medicine for it… they can only treat the symptoms. So it’s a hurry up and wait type of deal and it wrecks infants.
Luckily both my boys are good now and doing well but it was dicey for a minute there.

Glad y’all are ok.
