September 26th

There is a mixed bag of stuff out there.
We have had all kinds of rashes.
There is still the hand foot mouth virus about, perhaps some slap cheek and a couple of kids who likely have the chicken pox. They are too young to have had the vaccine. (We generally give the chicken pox vaccine called Varivax at 15 months of age, but it can be given to children as young as a year. )
There are also some calls about a fairly mild tummy bug that isn't lasting for more than a day or two.
We are seeing lots of colds and coughs and ear infections.
There are some fevers out there but I don't think I am seeing the flu yet.
Stay well
Judy
