Things was very very busy in here today.
Between the start of the check-up season, and lots of illness going around, we were fully booked and squishing in the extra patient that needed to be seen.
The triage bar is set very high. This means that unless I was really worried about your child, most likely I did NOT bring you in to be seen.
Much of what is going around does seem to be viral.
The Hand Foot Mouth virus does not seem to be showing any signs of quitting.
We also have quite a few kids with hive type rashes and puffy feet and hands.
Other kids just have random rashes.
We are seeing basic coughs and colds.
The coughs seem dry and can hang around for several weeks.
We have seen a bunch of kids with ear infections today as well.
If you have any forms for camps or schools or simply need routine check ups, do yourself a favor and call way in advance so that you can be assured of getting a slot that works for your schedule.
We are booking way up so advanced planning is important.
We have some nebulizers that we keep in the office to loan to patients for short term need. We are missing quite a few of them. If you have one of our office machines, please return it ASAP!!!
Stay well,
Nurse Judy
