Monday Update September 16th

We are seeing some kids with fevers and congestion.
 Some of the fevers have lasted for four days or so, but the kids don't seem too worrisome. If the fever continues into day 5, they need to be seen.
 If the fever does not respond to meds or the child is super fussy, I would want them seen sooner.

Below is the link to my blog post on fevers

There are also lots of coughs and colds.
Last week many of the kids seemed to have labored breathing with a croupy cough. Any time you have labored respirations your child should be evaluated.

I am hoping that the infant flu vaccine will come this week.
I will let you know.

Have a healthy week
Nurse Judy
