Today is not quite as nuts as last week, maybe the kids are finally getting the memo that Winter is over.
We are still seeing kids with colds and a very harsh dry hacky cough.
Some kids are having high fevers with rashes.
Last week I had quite a few kids with several days of hives that turned out to be viral.
We have had a few positive strep tests today.
Hand foot mouth is still going around.
We seem to be seeing a lot of conjunctivitis
Whew...sounds like a lot, but still way better than last week.
Does this list of ailments make you nervous?
I have one of my illness classes coming up on may 7th Wednesday evening at 7:30 pm.
I only do this one a few times a year.
This 90 minute session reviews fevers, coughs, colds, tummy bugs, rashes, and all sorts of viruses etc.
It is good to know how to deal with all these things regardless of how old your child is.
The main focus of the class is really to get comfortable recognizing when to worry and when to relax if your child (or you) are ill.
You can find more info about the class at www.nursejudy.com
If you are interested in joining, just pop an email over to me at nursejudynvp@gmail.com
Stay well and enjoy the weather, it is supposed to be a hot week so make sure you stay hydrated!
