Weekly Update 3/24/14

The majority of the calls this morning are tummy related.
There are quite a few kids with some loose stools and/or vomiting.

In the office we are seeing plenty of folks with colds, coughs and fevers.
Lots of the grown ups are getting stricken with this as well.
Some of the parents who seem to be coming in almost weekly are joking that they need to leave a suitcase here. This will pass. You are not alone, there is a lot going around.

I have also gotten quite a few calls about tick bites in the last two weeks. This prompted me to update my tick bite post

If you are interested...Here is some info about a good cause.
 
Are you a mom that wants to meet other moms, get in shape and help fight blood cancer?  Join the brand new program from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training – Moms In Training!  Moms In Training is a nine-week workout program that helps busy moms prepare for a 5K race while meeting other moms in their community and raising funds for LLS’s mission to fight cancer.

Moms In Training was created with the goal of bringing moms together to get in shape, fight cancer and raise funds for LLS.  Moms In Training includes weekly workouts on Saturday mornings, which consists of running, walking, cross-training and stretching, and social events throughout the season with other moms in the area.  The program climates with the See Jane Run 5K Walk and Stroller Stride in Alameda, CA on June 22, 2014.  This program is perfect for new moms since they are able to train with their babies as long as they remain in the stroller!

Moms In Training is currently available in San Francisco, East Bay, North Bay, Peninsula, South Bay and Santa Cruz.  Interested moms can learn more or sign up at www.teamintraining.org/gba/moms
