There we were, in the same hospital where my son Deskin’s twin brother, Jake, passed away at just two days old. Fear washed over me. I looked at my husband, “How did we end up back here?” I asked.
It all started with our insurance company. They denied preventive treatment for respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, when Deskin was three years old. In previous years, Deskin had received the treatment, safeguarding him from the deadly seasonal virus. But at three years old, he no longer qualified, according to the guidelines.
