We were extremely busy today with sick kids and the phone call volume was very high.
We do our best triage the charts and call the more serious cases first, but if you are ever worried and feel like you are waiting for a long time for a call back, feel free to call again and ask the front desk to nudge you to the top of our pile.
We are seeing lots of coughs and colds.
We have several cases of Hand/ foot/ mouth
A few kids were having vomiting for a day ( no diarrhea yet)
There were lots of sore throats..strep tests were negative
some of our older kids had pretty high fevers for a day or 2 without any other symptoms showing right now.
We had a 4 year old admitted to the hospital last week with RSV ( a very nasty virus that typically shows up much later in the season)
My illness class is scheduled for this coming Sat morning at 10:45 where we will talk about all of the above...if you are interested in a spot let me know www.nursejudy.net
Stay well, its a nice week coming up...sunscreen and hydration please!!!
