Lisa McHugh describes horror after baby daughter caught RSV

Advertisements

Hallie caught RSV again just four weeks after being discharged from hospital.

“Thankfully, we were more prepared this time. We knew what to watch out for. We knew how to treat her. And thankfully, her symptoms weren’t as bad ,” she said.

The baby was kept in hospital for a day, but got home for Christmas. Now six months old, she is doing well.

“Her immune system is just very, very low, and it probably will be for quite some time, until we build it back up again.

“I’m still being very protective of her, just because I know that she needs it,” she said.

She is urging parents to be more aware of RSV and not to be afraid of speaking up to protect your baby.

“If someone wants to come and visit your baby and you want them to wash their hands before they touch them, just ask nicely. Or if you have any sort of cold or sniffle, just leave the visiting until you’re feeling 100% better.

“It’s your job as their parent.”
