….or probably more correctly, God intervened:)! Ty DID get his RSV shot AND I was told that insurance approved the shot for the next 5 months! Yipppeeee! <\/p>\n
Susie – In regards to your comment on this, I am assuming that Ty is getting the second full season because (a) he was a 25 weeker and (b) he was on oxygen until nearly 10 months. I heard that the qualifications were if they turned 1 year during their first season (which Ty did), that they would NOT get the shot the second season. I also heard that they WILL get the shot the second season but only up until their second birthday. In Ty’s case, I guess his Dr. pushed for the entire season and it looks like he got it.<\/p>\n
Also, the nurse that came out to give Ty his shot yesterday told me something interesting. He told me that RSV is a common cold (knew that) but one that produces A LOT OF mucus. For this reason, tiny babies, and lung comprised babies have trouble handling the sheer volume of fluid that RSV produces – thus the problem.<\/p>\n
He also said that babies UNDER 6 months of age WILL NOT breathe out of their mouth EVEN IF their nose is completely plugged. This makes RSV VERY dangerous for infants because if both of their nostrils plug they will suffocate. Why hasn’t anyone ever told mothers in general this???? Apparently, after 6 months of age, babies will start breathing out of the mouth if they need to but under that age they won’t. I had no idea how important those bulb syringes are for little one’s with colds. Thought many of you would appreciate that tidbit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
