we do have a new email address nvpeds@gmail.com
Please remember that this is for NOT urgent issues only.
The nurses generally check it several times a day.
This Monday we are seeing Roseola, coughs/ colds/ and sore throats ( most have been negative for strep so far)
Dr Hurd worked in the weekend clinic and she said there were lots of wheezing patients.
The diarrhea is still going around. Most of the patients from 2 weeks ago are finally clearing up. I am speculating that it was simply a nasty virus. Time does seem to fix it. We just need to do gentle diet/ good hydration and good butt care to avoid rashes until they are better. For the youngest and smallest with persistent diarrhea I would want their weight checked if it goes on longer than 5 days.
For all the coughing kids...Teach your kids to cover those coughs whenever possible and do frequent hand washing/purell to stop the spread.
Stay well!
Nurse Judy
