Common Questions and Answers about Rsv shots for preemies
rsv
That's so scary!!!!!! I didn't even know what RSV was until I read forums about preemies going out. Now I'm freaking out!!! My son was born early and he always breathes fast then slow. He's working on regulating his breathing so I can't tell if that's his normal breathing or not. A lot of the symptoms are stuff that he does normally so it's extra scary. In Hawaii the rsv season is November to April and he was born November 14.
My little boy was born at 36 weeks and was in good health. His first year has been difficult. RSV. Milk protein allergies and eczema. Which pediatrician attributes to being early. He will be a year old on the 10th and he is off all medications and is slowly switching to plain old milk. Things will be fine. Being I. The hospital you will have the best care.
My daughter was 7 weeks early. Since she was a premature the Dr.s made it mandatory she get RSV shots. This helps the child from getting ill, It sound like if your child did not get these shots he might be getting symptoms of RSV. Here are some I know of: having a simple clear runny nose and occasional cough that can be treated at home, to severe difficulty breathing that may require hospitalization. Other symptoms might include a low-grade fever, sore throat, headache, and irritability.
not to try to scare you but my little one who has a heart conditon got it when he was 5 weeks old and ended up in the hospital for 15 days. then he started to recieve the shots. we actually ahd a nurse come to the house to give it. she picked it up and things like that. I didn't work. the shots are for the winter time only. I thikn there are six one a month.

I was born a month early, I only weighted 4 LBS 9 Oz, and I was discharged after 24 hours, but my mom had some complications during the birth so she had to stay for 2 weeks in the hospital, which meant so did I.
I was pregnant with twins. Lost my son at 23 weeks. Delivered my daughter at 27weeks. She'll be 2 in aug. We were in the NICU for 3 months. You can expect baby to get a couple blood transfusions and be on a ventilator for at least a month. Feeding tube for almost your whole stay. Any other questions just ask. :) everything will be fine. The alarms will scare the crap out of you every time. Dont worry. Nurse comes in every time it goes off.
Those babies are usually fine and are in the hospital for at longest a week so they can make sure they know how to eat. My son was a preemie. As far as weight every baby is different if I were to guess I would say around 4 and a half pounds.
My son is going to be 2 months old soon and a couple of days after he was born they told me he has RSV, i have been in and out of the hospital so many times and he dose not seem to be getting any better. I have read everybody stories and How they lost their loved ones and i am so scared that it might happen to my son. Please is there anything that i can do to prevent this from getting worse???
Im pregnant now with my 2nd child not far at all like just 3 weeks but im so scared that ill have another preemie baby n i sooo dont want that to happen does anyone know if its common to have two preemies in a row??? Also with my first child i wrk very hard n stressed at my job n which now im a stay at home mom....
there are shots that the babies get once a month called synagisis (not sure if I am spelling it right) but they get it to help LESSEN the affects of RSV. insurance companies do usually cover them the shots are once a month for the winter season and they get it for the first 2 years of their lives. my son got RSV when he was 5 weeks old, he didn't get his first shot yet and he was really really ill.
If you have time the doc can give you a series of steroid shots for the babies lungs. Also, you have to expect that the baby will be in the hospital until your due date. Like I said, it's a very har thing to go through, and I pray I won't have to to it again myself. You will make it through it though. God bless you.

So now today we got out of the childerns hospital they sent him home with oxygen but to me he still seems bad but they that he was Fine!!
In the paper in the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition , published ahead of print March 31st 2010 you find on the forth page in fig 2 the graph of plasma concentrations of RSV as a function of time in these humans to be dose dependent and having for 500mg (quite a high dose!) found the peak concentration of original RSV at 90min after dosing to be 14.4 nanograms/ml or 14.4 micrograms/liter. Knowing the molecular weight of RSV to be 228g/Mol this translates into 14.
My daughter has been sick for three and a half weeks now. Fever throwing up and diarrea for first week, then fever and diarrea the next week. Then fever up to 104 and deydration the next took her to the ER they put her on IVs but could not find whats wrong. She has a history of RSV could this be what it is again. I dont know what o do?
I would hold off as long as possible and have them give you celestone shots for the babies lungs just in case you go before 38 weeks and they can not stop you! You have to have two shots 24 hours apart. No it is not too late if the dr's say that! It does help and that is why my 3rd came home so early and healthy. I am not sure why they would not let you go past your due date cuz of your blood type! That makes no since!! I hav enever heard that nor read it.
