'My baby turned blue' - Dublin boy flown to Sweden for life-saving treatment after RSV infection

A Dublin dad has told of how his little baby boy needed life saving care after he contracted RSV.

12-week-old baby Liam, from Swords, had to be flown to Sweden for emergency advanced life support treatment after he contracted the deadly virus from his older sister who is in school. Speaking in front of RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, his father described the horror the young parents experienced.

Baby Liam first became unwell on Halloween night when he refused to eat. It wasn’t a huge concern at the time as the baby slept okay through the night, said Paul.
