Monday update January 6th

Happy New Year.
I hope all of our travelers are safely home.Unfortunately I know of more than one family who had quite a time of it getting  home because of the storms.

Last week we were seeing a tremendous amount of Strep Throat

For what it is worth, today most of the tests came back negative but it is still worth checking if the symptoms fit.

We are seeing a ton of kids with the standard cough/ cold/ fever
We have a bunch of kids with conjunctivitis.
I am still talking to quite a few of our  families with some tummy symptoms, but that doesn't seem as prevalent as it was last week.

I am reading frightening reports about the H1N1 flu circulating about. That is a potentially deadly strain that is covered by this years vaccine. If you haven't gotten your shot yet, it is NOT too late.

Stay Well,
Nurse Judy
