Ok so today brought some interesting news, news that i'm still processing, i was confused so if you have advice/help please offer it! Libbi's test came back and this was Dr. Rose.. "She has (hmfhdmnsdns) virus, not what we needed." I said "Huh?" I did not understand the virus, so he says, "well it's a sister virus to rsv, but unfortunately since it's not the actual rsv virus, her synagis will not do any good as far as fighting it off."
Great. Bottom line, she is headed into the worst of it, it will get worse in the next 4 days then start getting better. If i feel like she is breathing heavily, not breathing enough, or if i'm just worried I can take her to the RSV clinic at Mckay (Greatest idea EVER by the way) and they will check her out and see if she needs to be admitted or not. I said, "umm.. so i have to make the call, if i feel like she's bad enough to be seen or not?" He said ya. I don't like being in charge. Cross your fingers and toes and anything else that will cross that she doesn't get real bad in the next 4 days. I'm a little scared but she's a tough girl, she's proven that! For today, she seems pretty good, just coughing alot. But breathing sounds good :)

Poor girl. Ill keep her in my prayers.
We too have heard about this sister strain of RSV...essentially just a way that the original virus mutates to be a slightly different form. You should not have to be the one to make the call about admitting her...make your pediatrician take more of a role! He is the doctor after all!!! I sure hope you can just let her ride it out at home instead of having to go to the hospital where she would likely be around even more germs!
I am so sorry about her RSV. My cousins baby spent a few days at the hospital With this sister virus and she too got the synagis shots. Good luck this week and hopefully she can stay out of the hospital.
