Today, the 32-year-old is a mother of three. With each child, Johnson East has had a different experience with the respiratory syncytial virus, more commonly known as <a href=\"https:\/\/cafemom.com\/parenting\/221428-mom-warns-not-kiss-baby-rsv\">RSV<\/a>. Her eldest daughter, Drew Hazel East, was the first to catch it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a week after I brought my second child home, which was really scary,\u201d Johnson East tells CafeMom. \u201cThat was hard. We had to kind of quarantine and keep Drew and my second child, Jett, separated. She dealt with it fine. She had cold symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SIx months later, it was Jett\u2019s turn. Like his sister before him, he also had cold symptoms: runny nose, a low fever, lethargy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen, one night, he woke up in the middle of the night having a really, really hard time breathing,\u201d she tells us. \u201cHe had retractions. We couldn\u2019t get him calmed down and comfortable so we took him to the emergency room.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctors confirmed that it was RSV, gave Jett oxygen and monitored him for 24 hours. Afterward, he was able to go home but the whole ordeal was frightening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More from CafeMom:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cafemom.com\/parenting\/208173-how_to_prevent_rsv_infants\">The Number 1 Reason Infants End Up in the Hospital &amp; How to Prevent It<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shawn Johnson East first tumbled into our collective consciousness as a gymnast and Olympic medalist.
