LAS VEGAS — An 18-month-old was released from the hospital Sunday, after she survived a battle against RSV, spending four days in Summerlin Hospital in Las Vegas. Her parents say it was their worst nightmare.
The nightmare began about one week ago. Taylor said her daughter just got over the flu, but she noticed the troubled breathing continued one night, waking up at 4 a.m. to see her daughter's belly going up. She said she could hear the forced breathing and her ribs coming out. Lauren Taylor said she was concerned they were too late and that her daughter could face serious health issues, maybe even death.
"The nurses were also running frantic. There is not enough of them, there is not enough of a health care team," Taylor said.
