From RSV to rhinovirus to enterovirus and everything in between — Riley Hospital for Children’s Dr. John Christenson tells nikkidementri current bed availability is tight.
GREENWOOD — It started with what the Haughn family thought was a cold. Fast forward two days later, and doctors at an urgent care center diagnosed Leilani with RSV and pneumonia.“I never thought that we would be dealing with RSV in mid-September on an 80-degree day,” Haughn said. She continued, “It’s been a ride but I think we’re past the scary part.”
“I think that’s why we waited to take her because it’s not wintertime. It’s not your typical flu season,” Haughn said. “There’s a lot of resilient people and they persevere and provide good care, but the reality is, definitely there’s a lot on the system,” Dr. Christenson said. “Right now, we’re double last week of our isolation of rhinovirus and enterovirus,” Dr. Christenson said.
