Human Metapneumo Virus




My Ashton is sick. So sick that he's been admitted to Primary Children's Hospital for a few days. He has Human Metapneumo Virus which is kind of like RSV's less popular twin. I guess it's a relatively newly known disease (2001). He was immediately put on oxygen and has to have his "brain sucked" every couple of hours after his nebulizer treatment. It is NOT fun. So everyone send happy thoughts and prayers his way.
