3 Month Old with Rsv- Bronchilitis

Hi There, We just got back from AI DuPont hospital and my little baby boy- 3 months old has RSV- a respiratory virus- like bonchitus in us. We stayed over night and they said we could come home yesterday- his oxygen looked good- no fever etc. But now that we have him home he's a complete mess!
