Episode 20 | Sarah's Story - A toddler hospitalized with RSV and Pneumonia


Listen Later

Sarah shares her experience with a son who acquired a common called RSV and how it eventually led to pneumonia and being hospitalized for a week. We talk about some of the hardest parts of being in the hospital like waiting for a diagnosis, not being able to cuddle your child who is hooked up to oxygen and IVs, and trying to find ways to cope cope as a mother during the experience.

Sarah discusses about how this entire experience has changed the way she looks at health, being aware of spreading germs, not taking for granted the small moments in life like a cuddly or clingy toddler and being aware of what really matters in life. 

Sarah shares tips from how to support a toddler for a week-long hospital in addition to the recovery period at home. She also talks about how one night nurse completely helped make their hospital experience so much better.
