Some unexpected news
The birth of his daughter should have been the happiest moment of his life. After months of anticipation, seeing her was supposed to bring nothing but joy to this father. When the doctors and nurses spread bad news, it was even more tragic.
The cause of the disaster
He wrote on Imgur that his newborn daughter’s lungs were infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This life-threatening infection is caused by viral meningitis and can quickly have severe consequences. Her daughter also developed pneumonia, bronchiolitis and a partial collapse of the right lung, and she fought for her life on a ventilator in the intensive care unit.
How can you save lives
This father reminded all netizens to wash their hands frequently in the presence of young children. Although this message came too late to prevent a health crisis for his child, he sought to stop similar tragedies in other children.
He wrote on Imgur: “RSV is no joke…be sure to wash your hands before handling the little ones.”
