The office will be closed on July 4th.
Please call the after hours number if you have any concerns during the 3 day weekend.
Please be careful with fireworks!!
It has been reasonably mellow this week with the biggest complaint still being that of a fairly mild tummy bug.
My next illness class will be next Thursday July 7th at 7:45 pm.
This class will answer questions like, " when should I be worried about a fever?"
We will talk about coughs, colds, tummy bugs, rashes etc.

The tummy bug persists. This has been the most prevalent complaint of the day by far.
Most have both vomiting and diarrhea. The kids don't seem too ill.
We have lots of kids with coughs and colds, and a few wheezers.
Plenty of sore throats are out there, but none have shown up as strep throat with the office test.
We are also seeing lots of odd rashes.
Summer is here, make sure your kids stay hydrated, and be wiser than me and make sure you use plenty of sunscreen. ( I got myself a good burn this weekend..ouch)

Most of my calls this morning involved a tummy bug.
This one does not seem to linger too long and has involved a day or 2 of vomiting, a bit of diarrhea and a low grade fever.
We are now seeing sore throats that test positive for strep and some kids with a viral fever.
We had a child bitten by a squirrel in Golden gate park this weekend. She was feeding them and this squirrel was fairly bold. As a rule, squirrels are not a rabies risk, but having your child hold out food for them should not be encouraged.
Be well

Thursday check in/safeyt class schedule
This week I am now seeing a virus that has a high fever, some congestion, some tummy complaint and sore throat.
The throat cultures have been neg.
The fevers have been lasting about 4 days.
It feels very fluish, but we haven't been doing actual flu tests ( and many of the kids who are ill had flu shots)
we are also seeing multiple cases of head lice.
If your little one has been scratching at their heads, consider taking a close look to see if you see any nits or bugs ( how many of you are scratching your head while you read this?)
My next safety class is now scheduled for Wednesday evening June 29th at 7:45pm ( $20 per person)
This is open to any parents, nannies or grandparents. RSVP is required, let me know if you want a spot.

Monday June 6th
Nothing too exciting in the works today.
We have some kids with a mild tummy bug, plenty of general coughs and colds and some conjunctivitis.
Summer check ups are booking up rapidly, so if you haven't yet, call for any needed appointments!
For mild acute issues this week, Thursday will be our easy day to get in for any issues that have been lingering.
Be well
