Friday update

We are seeing a potpourri of illnesses.
*Today I have spoken to quite a few folks who seem to have a tummy bug. So far this has been 2 days of vomiting and some loose stools.

*Slap cheek is still going around. Many of the patients have had a very aggravating time with it this year. The fevers and the rashes have been coming and going for almost 3 weeks. There has been some complaints of achy joints with this package.

*Many of our patients have been wheezy and the high pollen count isn't helping anyone.

* there is a basic cough/ cold viral making the rounds. If you are dealing with clear mucous, no fever, unlabored respiration s, eating, sleeping, consolable... We are not concerned.
If any of those symptoms change or you feel the need to check in for mild but prolonged illness, call for an appointment.

Enjoy the weekend
