BEWARE OF THE COUGH!
We have seen many lingering coughs this year, some turning into serious problems. Please consult your PCP if the cough worsens, becomes productive, painful to the chest, fever spikes, or anything else that doesn't "seem normal". Pertussis has been reported in the community, which has a 'whoop' sound at the end, often accompanied by vomiting. see http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/lung/whooping_cough.html for more info on that, and all health concerns.
Be well!

Don't forget to update me anytime your child is ill, injured, gets a new prescription, glasses, vaccine or anything else that helps me care for the whole child. Thank you!
