I never thought we would be glad that Seamus "only" had RSV. We were happy it was not another shunt infection. Four days in the hospital is not pleasant, but there are worse alternatives. He is happy to be home, happily watching Dora on the couch!

Thank-God for Dora on the couch! I am so glad that he is home. It is kind of funny for the problem to be "only" RSV but I guess we take what we can get.

I'm so glad Seamus is home and no shunt infection. RSV is definitely the less of two evils. Vaminos Seamus!

It's one time when you'd take RSV as a diagnosis, huh? Good to hear he's home!
