We are sad to announce the departure of Stephanie Smith, F-NP at the end of this week as a full time provider. She will begin work as an instructor at TAMU-CC this spring semester. Her contributions to the practice have been invaluable and she will be greatly missed. Good luck Stephanie!

This formula shortage issue has become or has been ridiculously critical. A few reminders:

- NEVER EVER dilute powdered or concentrated formula in an attempt to make it last. This can induce a dangerous condition called hyponatremia (water intoxication) that can be life threatening.

- DO NOT introduce whole milk or any other type of milk alternative before age 1. Early introduction can cause kidney stress, severe constipation, and possibly an allergic reaction.

- Generic brands are fine but try to stay within the same formula type if your baby has a history of sensitivities.

- Due to the recall, we had to toss almost of our sample supply. Ross (Similac products) was our main sample provider.

- Fortunately the FDA has cleared Ross to reopen their primary Similac producing plant so hopefully this nightmare will be ending soon.

As always, please contact us with any concerns or questions

Happy Labor Day! We are closed today for the holiday. We will reopen tomorrow. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we navigate through this COVID wave. Quick update on COVID:

- Positives continue to be seen in most age groups. The severity of symptoms when present has remained mild. None of our patients have needed to be admitted or referred to the ER.

- We are seeing a good number of strep cases as well as RSV and rhinovirus (common cold). Some kids have also had minor intestinal germs. A few co-infections have been identified, meaning some kids have had 2 different ailments at the same time, for example COVID and strep.

- Some people have asked about the duration of immunity after infection. Studies suggest it may last upwards of 8 to 10 months, perhaps longer if additional exposure occurs in that time period.

- A common question has been about monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID. Again, most pediatric cases can be managed with simple OTC meds. Here are the recommendations about using it in confirmed high risk cases:

- Offered at Driscoll, referral is needed
- Age: 12 or older only
- High risk considerations (see below)
- Started within 10 days of symptom onset

- High risk considerations, in other words some pre existing conditions that could result in a more severe COVID outcome:

- Obesity
- Heart disease
- Poorly controlled asthmatics on daily meds
- Conditons requiring immunosuppressive drugs

- We recommend the COVID vaccine for any of our patients 12 and older with one of the above conditions. We also recommend it for any parent with one of the above or for those who live with younger children with any of the above.

Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions.
