DENVER — U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra visited Colorado Monday to hold a roundtable discussion with pediatric experts about the"tripledemic" the state is currently facing.
While RSV cases appear to be on the decline in Colorado, influenza cases are on the rise. Children's Hospital Colorado medical staff told Becerra they are hopeful that RSV has peaked in Colorado, but they remain cautious in their approach. Medical experts told Becerra antibiotic shortages have been a challenge in addressing the issue, and that COVID-19 and flu vaccinations for younger patients have dropped off this year, contributing to the problem.
“The night before, he was just fine, playing happily. And then suddenly on December 16, he started to have difficulty breathing,” Aleksanyan said. “He was breathing with his belly, breathing fast. So we immediately took him to his pediatrician's office, where we were realized that his oxygen saturation levels were dropping.”
The family was also told to not leave their son’s room for more than 20 minutes at a time if they wanted a chance to say goodbye to him.
