Paul Murphy's baby son was transferred to a Swedish hospital after becoming seriously ill with RSV

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Paul Murphy described how his son Liam first became unwell on Halloween night when he would not take his bottle.

In Temple Street, the doctors used CPAP,"which was quite, quite scary and Liam didn't like it at all, but that was keeping his lungs functioning. "Which is a very, very serious advanced life support". Liam was flown to Stockholm by air ambulance and despite being stable when he left Crumlin hospital with the team from Sweden, he needed to be resuscitated on arrival there."Number of RSV cases in Ireland hits 'unprecedented' high

"Every X-ray that we had done in the week, in a few days in the run up to Sweden, would indicate that this the virus was just getting heavier and heavier and ultimately it was like a sticky glue blocking his alveoli and it just it just wouldn't allow him to breathe. Mr Murphy said that his four-year-old son, as well as his two-year-old daughter both had RSV and were sick but"they weren't anywhere near what Liam was. So, it seems that the HSE has contacted the early learning centres and creches, but my understanding is that the messaging hasn't gone out officially to schools."

Please God everything will be Ok.❤️

Glad the baby is ok but cut out the moaning. Be happy we can count on the support of friendly countries when we need it.

Christ that's frightening

Taking in consideration the tanaiste and soon Taoiseach to be again studied medicine… is this government finally gonna invest in our public health? or is still going to rely on EU countries and paying them for this type of emergencies? Please invest in your own country!

A worrying time. Hope he will be OK.
