It is after 5 pm and our phones are now off. This was the first free second that I have had today. After last weeks general mellowness I was NOT expecting today to be quite so nuts.
There are tons of coughs and colds and lots of wheezing out there.
I have several folks with moderate fevers ~101.
There are many folks with conjunctivitis and ear infections.
There is a bit of vomiting/ diarrhea
I am still seeing lots of odd rashes ( many I am blaming on the slap cheek virus)
The general call volume was very high. Charity and I were both in here working full throttle to try to get back to folks in a timely manner. If you ended up waiting for a call we very much appreciate your patience.
We were booked solid by 9:40 this morning and I ended up squishing in a few more patients who really needed to be seen.
Thanks to all of you for understanding that on some days, the mildly or moderately ill kids need to wait a day or so to be seen so that we can get the sicker kids in here..
Dr Anne thanks you all for the well wishes.
She reports that her babies are very sweet. Their names are Sonam and Sathyan.
We will be starting to book the well child exams for all of our older patients ( for kids over 3 we try to do the well child physical exams from March-October) If you plan in advance you will be rewarded with a much better selection of convenient times.
Stay well,
Judy
