By far, most of the calls I dealt with today are tummy related.
What I am mostly seeing is a virus that starts with some vomiting. Alas the diarrhea/ loose stools are lingering for 4-5 days.
In the office we have seen lots of kids with coughs and colds. Last week we had many positive strep tests.
I am getting lots of email photos of various strange rashes.
Some may be bites, others allergy or heat related.
Many rashes are simply coming along with a virus.
( see the nursejudynvp.blogspot.com post on rashes for a guide of when to worry)
There is one of my patients with possible hand foot mouth virus.
We had one possible case 2 weeks ago and this is only the second one I have seen. Hopefully this isn't the start of things.
We are SO busy these days.
If you have any physical exams that need to be scheduled or forms that need to be filled out, please call ASAP. If you call 2-3 months ahead of time, you should have no trouble finding a spot that works with your schedule seeing your primary doctor.There is no fee for forms that are filled out when you come in for an exam.
Dr Anne popped in with her lovely babies today. They are adorable. She is planning to ease back in to working a few days a week in July.
Thanks for the fabulous photos!!! It isn't too late.
I will let you know when the new website is up and running
