Possibly RSV

No, not the revised standard version! Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which causes infection of the lungs and breathing passages, is a major cause of respiratory illness in young children. This is what the doctors are guessing that Lila has. They've done some tests which will confirm this and we should get the results tomorrow. Her lungs have lots of gunk in them so this is also a cause for concern. The doctors will do chest percussions (light pounding on the chest) and also continue using the vaporizer, etc. to try to work the gunk out.
