Prayers are going out for your little grand daughter.RSV can be scarry when your little one has it so young of an age!

RSV starts off as simple as a runny nose and fever after 2 to 4 day's it could develope into more sever symptoms in infants. Usually it is Bronchiolitis or pneumonia, and that is when they will need admitting into a hospital. It's a tough call early on for a doctor know if it's a cold or RSV, both that are virus infections and do not require antibiotics.

My son had RSV when he was a baby. He had to be put in the PICU because he had also been born premature. Preemies and other high risk infants have a hard time fighting it off and are more likely to have severe symptoms from RSV. My son had to be intubated for a few day's then they had him on the CPAP until 3 day's before he was released from the hospital. It was scarry for us. He was 5 months old at the time but they went with the corrected age of 2 months because he was 3 months early. He was 5lbs 8 ounces at the time, He pulled through after 2 weeks in the PICU. They now have a drug called Synagis, it's a monthly injection given to preemies and other high risk babies to help them during RSV season.
