Just FYI- Flu shots are in… sorry kids but it’s my job to inform the parental units. 😂

Good morning! I am over joyed to let everyone know that my crazy 2025 health journey is returning back to “normal”. I have been cleared by cardiology, oncology, endocrinology, surgeons and my P*P to see healthy and sick kids again. 🥳 Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes! We !

I got children in my life that aren’t even mine & I would do anything for them.

How I feel about all my patients! Once a Kirby baby… always a Kirby baby! Even when you’re 50! 🤍

Great news, everybody! We just found out today that I am cancer free and healing well. We are now just waiting to meet with the oncologist to discuss if I need chemotherapy. With that being said, I plan to return to the office after Easter and my surgeon said only “part time” for now. So please continue to be patient with the office staff as we make these adjustments.

Good evening, family! I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to communicate with y’all but honestly it is really hard for me. I’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s why the office is having so many rescheduling issues for the past few months. My personal appointments are springing up really last minute and I’m trying to appease everyone but . I am sorry from the bottom of my heart for any inconveniences. I promise I’m not on vacation or having any fun. My health has been questionable since December when it started with heart problems. Those were fixed and then more problems were identified. The scariest one is the cancer diagnosis. Please be kind to my staff… they are my family and they are having to deal with this as well. They are my “chosen family” and they are trying to accommodate everyone as mych as possible… i promise they care and love your kids as much as i do! … we don’t know what is happening next with me and are just patiently waiting to hear further results/plans. I’m having surgery this week and will be out a few weeks to heal. I am always still on my computer and watching over your kids like they are my own… but work with me. Mom to Mom… I’m taking it day by day and still Dr. Kirby aka Miss Make it Happen! ❤️ I absolutely am blessed by you all and the kiddos… they fill my soul with happiness and love. I’m going to be out for about 2 weeks and then back in perso to help my babies young and old. I love y’all and just wanted to be transparent with you all. ! 🩷

Love - Dr. Kirby

Due to inclement icy weather conditions and school closures, we will close the office tomorrow (2/19/25) to keep our patients and staff safe. Sorry for any inconveniences. Keep yourself warm and safe with your kiddos! ❤️

A note from a tired pediatrician in what is a very busy, very exhausting part of our sick season:

Please be nice.

The receptionist you spoke to on the phone is overworked as other staff are out sick.

That doctor who took a bit longer than usual to get into your room had to squeeze in many extra kids that day due to how sick they are.

The nurse in the ER who didn’t know your lab results yet hasn’t had a moment off her feet in several hours.

That portal message you have been waiting on for a reply from someone has 30-40 others ahead of it.

That phone triage nurse has hardly had a minute to grab a drink of water between all the calls, I promise.

No one in pediatric medicine is twiddling their thumbs in boredom right now, I promise.

Please be kind. ❤️🥹 we are working as hard as we can.

Dr. Diane

Most of the ice has melted in the Minden area! Hip Hip Hooray! I will likely have a skeletal crew in the office tomorrow because not all of my employees live in the area and all in more rural areas. However, ABC Pediatrics WILL be open tomorrow with abbreviated hours from 9-12. We will reschedule those appointments from earlier this week. Thanks for everyone’s patience!

After careful consideration, ABC Pediatrics will be closed tomorrow, January 18, 2024. This is for the safety of our patients and staff. Be careful and stay safe. 💜
