Synagis is an effective drug for preventing Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in premature babies and children with other medical problems, but it is a very expensive drug. Because of Jason's lung condition, he is considered at high risk for contracting RSV, so our insurance has agreed to help pay for Synagis.
Synagis is only effective if it is dosed every 28-31 days. We had our first shot yesterday, and we will go in for a new shot in January, February, March, and April. Sadly for Jason, this means he gets 5 extra shots compared with other babies, but we feel it is worth it. Cousin Brynn is also getting Synagis.

yay for Synagis! Poor Jason and Brynn with all the shots though. How did Jason handle it?
