6:52 am
Aloyisius
ooh, sorry!
6:52 am
Scrabbler
Somebody has to do it and we balance out the holidays over the years.
6:54 am
Scrabbler
I am more worried about driving the 30+ miles to my family's homes in this snowstorm that will drop 3 feet of snow by Wednesday night.
6:54 am
Aloyisius
are there usually more or less cases on Christmas?
6:56 am
Scrabbler
Fewer calls usually, because parents know that we are closed and that it is a holiday. However, some parents DEMAND antibiotics BECAUSE we are closed. Of course we do not follow parents' demands, we do what is right for the child.
6:59 am
Aloyisius
white Christmas or did it all melt?
6:59 am
Scrabbler
We starting getting creamed with snow last evening. We will get 3 feet or more by Wednesday night.
