September 27th

The phones were pretty insane today. With both Charity and I going full throttle, a lot of folks were waiting longer than usual for a call back today. We appreciate your patience.
I do want to remind you all though that if you are really concerned about something, please let them know at the desk when you call and we will strive to put you on the top of the pile when possible.

Most of my calls today were the basic colds and coughs.
Some folks are having some tummy issues, with vomiting and diarrhea.
We did have one Ruptured appendix last week.. It is a good reminder that vomiting and a stomach ache without diarrhea needs to be watched closely.
A few folks have fevers, but nothing that lasted long enough to cause concern.

Regarding the Similac recall, Happily none of our patients are the worse for wear from any bug parts that may have made it into their formula (yuck).. Seriously, last I checked there were only a handful of consumers out of hundreds of thousands, who may have been impacted.
Any formula that is back on the shelf of a major store is safe at this point.


We have another few hot days on the way, keep yourself and your children well hydrated!
