Children can be miserable with many common illnesses, but viral stomach flu can be particularly miserable for both the child (who feels so poorly) and the parent (who must clean up another episode of vomiting or diarrhea). Since vomiting is a given of childhood, try to add humor to it. Pick out a bucket or other similar container. Then, give it a name (e.g., the purple puke bucket) that children will find funny and will brighten their spirits. Use the bucket solely for this essential and honorable task, and you will know what it means when your child yells for it!
Dr. Franques has been incredible for our family. She takes her time with every visit, listens closely, and never makes us feel rushed - even when we bring in multiple kids at once. She has a calm, confident way of addressing every concern, and her diagnoses have always been accurate and helpful.The practice is organized, friendly, and it's clearly centered around giving families the support they need, but it’s Dr. Franques who makes it truly outstanding. We are so thankful to have her caring for our children.
