I just joined the forum yesterday. I had no idea this was an actual phobia. My husband got SV this Monday and now my poor baby is getting over it. He's one yr old and I couldn't pull myself together and take care of him. My husband had to call into work to stay home with us. I feel so guilty and even though he's better today I'm home alone with him and terrified. I'm nervous that he's still contagious and that I might still get it. I've been barely eating because of a knotted nervous stomach and I've been doing as little touching as possible when taking care of a one year old. I'm a basket case.
