RSV is a highly contagious respiratory virus. In most healthy individuals it presents as a common cold and isn’t usually a big deal. However, in babies with compromised lungs, like CDH babies, it can be much more serious.

If you aren’t given hope, if the doctors do not believe in your babies ability to survive, get a second or third opinion. Seek out a quality CDH surgeon at a hospital that has a top-notch CDH program. Find someone that believes in your baby’s ability to survive and thrive. Find someone that will fight for them every step of the way and has the skills to redefine impossible.
