Yesterday was Ryan’s first treatment of Synagis, a drug designed to vaccinate against RSV. My mother is an expert in this arena as she served on one of first research studies for the drug. I’m not an expert. Here’s what I know about RSV. RSV is like a really bad cold that can kill children who are susceptible to chronic lung issues like…ummm…..asthma!
I digress. So Ryan will be receiving yet another drug and, though it worries me that we have a milkaholic walking pharmacy in our house, I think RSV is a lot worse! So, for now I say “bring on the drugs” and I stress “for now” because I don’t think that is a lifelong sustainable mantra for our young CVS Pharmacy.
