Having a child in the hospital is a difficult and emotional time for parents.
Cooper Henry is almost 18 months old. He has been in the hospital three times with RSV since he was born.
"Watching your child go through that is so scary," said his mother, Sara Schladweiler. "He was on full high-flow oxygen for three days."
Schladweiler said it’s not a virus to mess around with.
"Just the breathing was the scariest part and him hooked up to all the machines, and I couldn’t even pick him up because he was hooked up to everything," she said.
In December, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said RSV was on the rise among children under the age of five. But in the past week, the state reported two children dying from RSV.
