Flu update/ nurse judy classes

We have seen some confirmed cases of Influenza type B in the office. There are reports of one school where as many as 40 of the children have had this recently. Our patients are presenting with aches, low energy, fevers 102-103, sore throats and some congestion. The worst of it has only lasted about 3 days. I do not believe that this particular strain was covered by a flu shot. It is a little unusual to be seeing this so late in the season. I will keep you informed it the situation becomes more interesting I have scheduled my next several classes. June 9th 10Am Saturday morning is the Safety Class. This class includes, head injury, burns, poisons, pet safety, child proofing, choking rescue. June 13th 7:30 pm Wednesday evening is the Illness class. This class gives guidelines for when to worry about an illness, We review coughs, colds, tummy bugs, fevers, rashes common viral illnesses, etc etc etc. June 20th 7:30 pm is the Solid foods class. This class answers any questions about feeding your child, how to start, nutritional info, changes in bowel movements, how to read a growth chart etc etc etc. classes are $20/person small groups, RSVP needed nursejudynvp@yahoo.com or www.nursejudy.net There seems to be a new format with the blog spot..I am still getting used to it so forgive the jumbled look of the posts.
