Pray it's not really RSV or NO Heart Surgery

They were testing Kelsey for viruses again and she came back negative (both the 24 hr and 48 hr tests) the first time but you have to have two negatives in a row to be cleared. When they tested her the second time the first 24 hour test came back negative but the test that takes 48 came back POSITIVE for RSV. They are hoping it's just a contaminant and not really RSV, since the first 24 hour test came back negative. They are testing again so PLEASE PRAY Kelsey is negative or her heart surgery will be postponed again for TWO more weeks at least. Kelsey isn't showing any signs of RSV because she doesn't have a lot of congestion like she used to, and with RSV there is a lot of congestion. Pray it's a false positive or Kelsey (and momma and daddy) is back to a very long two weeks of waiting.

Thanks for all the encouragement!!!

  1. Oh my goodness, Patti. I know you are worn out from riding this roller coaster. I pray that it is not RSV and surgery can proceed.

  2. Your family has been in my prayers since I found out about Kelsey. I have a son with special needs a genetic syndrome and the 1st 2 years of his life he was very medically fragile, he had major open heart surgery 2 weeks after he turned a year old. I know what you are going through as a mom.

  3. Oh my gosh, I hope that it is a contamination and not a true positive! Praying for clear results so she can go on to her heart surgery soon.
