RSV Season Has Started

I just wanted to remind everyone that RSV season has started for our area and lasts through April. Nathan does not qualify for the Synagis shot this year, which helped boost his immune system to fight the virus, if he caught it. He is no longer required to be on house arrest, but we will be taking all other precautions to prevent him from getting RSV this season.

We are asking that you wash your hands before touching Nathan. Please do not come to our house if you have a fever or cold symptoms, or have been around anyone who has been sick. We will keep him away from crowds and avoid close contact with others. And, as usual, we will keep Nathan away from smokers, which can cause him to go into respiratory distress.

We hope that everyone will stay healthy this RSV season!
