Preemie and disney world...

Sorry about the double post!

He was 34 weeks, docs say he was more like 32 weeks after they looked at him. He was in the hosp. for 3 1/2 weeks, had the respirator, ect... We had a (thankfully) healthy winter. He did recently have the croup, and we took him to the ER were he was given steroids and an air treatment. After 2 hours we went home and he was fine. I'm just worried that he'll get RSV and I'll think I could have prevented it by not going. On the other hand, we've been planning this trip for years and he could be fine... You hear a lot of the first winter but rarely the 2nd.

I normally say go enjoy the vacatio no matter what. However my sister had a boy (not a premie) in the hospital with lung issues in March one year. That same year in Dec we went to Disney & on a cruise. He ended up having issues & needed steroids & air treatments twice. She then got sick from the stress & at one point on the cruise I asked how she was & she said, "I just want off this godforsaken ship." Obviously not the best vacation for her (tho it was the best vacation of my life )

So I would weigh the factors & decide if it will be worth it if you end up having to visit the doctor a few times while there.
