November 26th/ Monday

We were horribly busy in here for most of the day. Thanks to all of you who waited patiently though the busy signals.
We had a lot of travelers who came back sick and were exposed to all sorts of stuff during the travels. The flu has arrived in other states and we will see how quickly it makes it's way out here. So far all of the local flu tests are still coming back negative.

There is a flu like illness around with congestion, body aches and a moderate fever that lasting for about 3 days or so. ( parents are getting this one too)

I have had several kids with hand food mouth. This is their second time around with it. It starts with a low grade fever and moves along to the rash on the hands and feet and spots around the mouth.

I have a few kids out there with rashes on the arms, legs and cheeks.. It is possibly slap cheek. Typically when slap cheek comes around it spreads quickly, so we will watch and see.

I have a few kids with vomiting that moves to diarrhea and lasts for a few days.

There were lots of kids with conjunctivitis. About half of those have a sinus infection or ear infection to go with it.

Good hand washing folks!!!!
