Things were kinda stressful around the house today.   My nephew has been fighting off some sort of sickness for the last couple weeks, the usual cough, cold, fever but today things progressed to a more serious note.  After having his fever spike a little higher than normal his body reacted and he needed to be rushed to the hospital. 

After getting some fluids and some oxygen he is doing much better and was able to come home this evening. 

He was diagnosed with Respitory Syncytial Virus.  I've never heard of this before but my son has been pretty sick with an ear infection for the last week and has had fever symptoms as well.  The two have been in contact a couple times over the last few weeks and keeping a 1 year old and a 10 month old from not sharing germs while in the same room is impossible. 

We'll be keeping a close watch on Cash's fever and will get him checked by the doctors on Monday morning. 

I always feel uneducated when I learn about things like this.  When I was growing up you had two types of sickness, cold and flu.
