jacob is my 25 weeker (now 4 months actual and 3 weeks asjusted). We have been home from the NICU for 3 weeks only and Jacob has been readmitted into PICU with Severe RSV. Paralyzed, vented at 100% and heavily sedated. Left lung has partially collapsed and the right lung is looking awful.

We have been off oxygen since 39 weeks gestation and I am wondering if this Bronciolitis will set him back any with his lungs? Does CLD/BPD tend to worsen after a bout of this?

Thanks in advance
