Today we are going to talk to Shanisty Ireland about RSV and bringing awareness to our audience and to share Adam’s story. Shanisty is a mom from Columbus, a mother of 4 beautiful children, and a blogger called A Place for the Modern Mom. 

Shanisty had no idea what RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) was until they almost lost their son to the virus at just 6 weeks old. Adam was born full-term weighing 9 lbs. 8 oz. in November of 2016.

Like many families, Adam had two older siblings who were in preschool and bringing home every cough and sniffle. Adam was diagnosed with RSV at 6 weeks old. He tested positive at the doctor’s office. “Mrs. Ireland, your son has RSV, take him home and watch him.” she stared at the tech, in confusion because she had never heard of RSV before.

After a long 24 hours at home, Adam wasn’t improving so she rushed him to Nationwide Children’s Hospital where they spent 5 terrifying days watched her baby fight for his life.

We all have expectations of each other, our kids, our spouses, our bosses, our parents. So, what happens when someone doesn’t meet those expectations? We REACT.

One way to handle unmet expectations is described in this quote: "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth, freedom, and happiness."

When we are able to take a break and breathe and take some moments to think about our response, the whole dynamic changes. What do you do when you feel yourself getting reactive? What works for you?
