Olympic gold medalist gymnast Shawn Johnson shares her family's experience with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which hospitalized her infant son. Johnson recounted a frightening night when her son, Jett James East, struggled to breathe and had to be taken to the emergency room. RSV is a highly contagious virus that affects the lungs and breathing passages, especially dangerous for infants and young children. Johnson, who previously experienced her daughter Drew Hazel East contracting a milder form of RSV, was particularly concerned as her third child's due date coincided with peak RSV season. She consulted with pediatrician Dr. Mona Amin and learned about preventive measures, including the use of the FDA-approved antibody injection Beyfortus, introduced in July 2023, to help protect young children from RSV. Johnson emphasizes the importance of parental education and vigilance, advocating for talking to pediatricians about prevention and recognizing symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and difficulty breathing. Her experience has heightened her focus on health and illness prevention for her children, inspiring her to read more about viruses and health.
