Re: Synagis....
My 33 weeker will get his 2nd dose on Monday. My 3 year old got RSV and was horribly sick and has lung damage from it also, so I made sure to get my DS his synagis on time.

Re: Synagis....
We were denied too. DFS was FTT, G tube, and had H1N1, and he STILL didn't get it. He was a 34 weeker.
He got RSV at 9 months old (Jan. 2009) and spent 8 days at the children's hospital with it. It was horrible. I would love to go back and let the Medicaid staff know what their denial did. Now, DFS has severe asthma, and at one point was on a neb 6 times a day last summer (4 albuterol and 2 pulmicort) plus prednisone to get it cleared up. He coughed til he vomitted. He still is on pulmicort daily, and albuterol as needed, plus a rescue inhaler.

Re: Synagis....
I am finding some bad stuff about the Synagis...here is 104 suspected deaths:
http://www.druglib.com/adverse-react...ousness_death/ As far as the effectiveness I can only find things saying it is pretty effective. http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/14278e.htm But I know there are a lot of preemie deaths as a result of RSV too...I wish I had a magic answer. I have had two 33 week babies and both have had RSV and double pneumonia and it was horrible they neither one had the shots because one of them was born April 1st at the end of RSV season and the other was born August 4th and would be 5+ months old during RSV season, the pedi never pushed it but this time I am expecting a Jan-Feb baby...I have a feeling I need to at least seriously look in to it ![]() I wish I had a magic answer...I guess I am finding some bad and good things I have to see if the benefits outweigh the risk now. Boo!

Re: Synagis....
i wonder how many of those babies had other health issues? i would NEVER vax a baby who couldnt even be safely discharged but they do
![]() ![]() but yes its a tough decision. if kai was a dec/jan/feb baby i would probably not vax, just hibernate. but since he is 7 months, if he had qualified i would have done it bc he has no other health issues.

Re: Synagis....
my daughter was born at 32.5 weeks and our insurance DENIED it for my daughter! she would've gotten it at her 6 month appt in october. we've been lucky and she hasnt been sick at all, except now she's got a runny stuffy nose but i think its teething related.

Re: Synagis....
my son got it for his first 3 years... I like you was concerned at first but but my concerns were quickly thrown away when the benefits out weighed risks... he never got rsv and I am greatly thankfull to the med... my 36 weeker ended up getting rsv n spent time in the hospital it was not fun n very scary...
