Welcome to this month’s J&D Ultracare testimonial post! Each month, we take a look at online reviews to see what people are saying about our agency. Our nurses work very hard to provide specialized care to the medically fragile population in the New York Metropolitan area, so it’s great to see people writing to us about the positive effect we’ve had on their lives.

This week, we wanted to share one of our favorite reviews on our testimonial page. Years ago, we met Charlie and made sure that all of his needs were met with our professional nursing services. His parents wrote to us in 2015, praising the nurses and all of the people on our staff for helping their son. Reading this truly warmed our hearts and showed that we can help make a difference in the world.

Here’s what Charlie’s parents had to say about J&D Ultracare:

“2015 marks 8 years since Charlie was able to come home with us, and also the beginning of a wonderfully trusting, honest and most professional relationship with J&D Ultracare.

Charlie has many medical needs and must be monitored throughout the day.  The home care that we have been most fortunate to receive for Charlie has been nothing short of amazing.  The nurses from J&D Ultracare have warm hearts and their medical expertise is apparent.  We can tell that they really care about Charlie and many have seen him flourish over the years. 

The office staff, scheduling staff –yes, you Nancy – the clinical staff and owner have been very kind to us over the years.  They have the most up to date medical information and provide thorough training to new nurses coming to work with our son.  The staff does their best to place high quality nurses and are always very open to our feedback.

I highly recommend J&D Ultracare to families who have a need for nursing for a loved one.  Thank you J&D for all of your support.  We look forward to a continued, long-lasting relationship!”

– Charlie’s Mom and Dad

But there’s more to a child’s health than the services we provide! That’s why we like to inform parents with as much knowledge as possible here on the blog. We write extensively about health tips every single week, so check out the blog regularly by clicking here.

This week, we want to talk about what you should do if your child has a fever. There is a great article on a website called Children’s Health that covers this topic in detail, so we want to share five tips from the post.

If you find these tips helpful, we encourage you to read the full original post on Children’s Health by clicking here. Here are the five tips from the article:

• Fluids: Offer plenty of fluids to drink. Prolonged fever can lead to dehydration.
• Sponge bath: Apply a lukewarm sponge bath to help lower your child’s temperature. Do not put your child in cold water or use rubbing alcohol to try to cool him/her off. Rubbing alcohol, inhaled or absorbed through the skin, can be toxic.
• Dress: Remove unnecessary clothing to make your child feel comfortable. Dress your child in lightweight, breathable clothing.
• Comfort: Cover with a light sheet, if your child appears chilled.
• Medicine: Consider using fever-reducing medication such as infant acetaminophen (Children’s Tylenol) or infant ibuprofen (Children’s Motrin). Check the label or call your pediatrician for the correct dosage for your child. Do not give aspirin to children age 18 or younger.

In addition, it’s important to note that a fever is also symptom of COVID-19. However, just because your child has a fever does not mean that they have the virus. The CDC has written about a number of preventative measures you can take to prevent the spread of the virus in children, so please visit their website to learn more.

On the blog, we like to encourage healthy habits that are easy for the whole family. That’s why we’ve written posts like “Four Superfruits Your Kids Can Eat This Summer” and “Four Fun Picnic Activities That Will Keep Kids Active“. This week, we want to talk about four easy things you can do as a parent to keep your kids healthy.

These four tips come from a great article on Parents called “10 Things Mommy Docs Do to Keep Their Kids Healthy“. If you find this topic interesting, we recommend you read the full article by clicking here. Each tip in the post comes from a mom-pediatrician, so they are extremely informative and helpful. Here are four of our favorite tips:

• Offer healthy meals and snacks. Josie Znidarsic, D.O., a family physician at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute, knows that a healthy diet is the bedrock of good health. That’s why she offers her two daughters plenty of fruits and veggies and limits their exposure to added sugar. “If you’re eating a terrible diet, there’s so much inflammation in your body that your immune system is already stressed. A healthy diet should be your foundation,” Dr. Znidarsic says.
• Don’t ban junk food. Dr. Rowell resists the urge to label food “good” or “bad,” and routinely allows less-than-healthy options. “We enjoy Cheetos along with Brussels sprouts and homemade stir-fry,” she says. Her reason? “When foods are forbidden, kids can end up really craving them, and that can set them up for eating problems later in life,” she points out. “Allowing occasional ‘junk food’ with meals and at snack times is almost like inoculating kids. The food loses its mystique, and kids learn to manage it as just another food.”
• Keep vaccinations up to date. “In our family, we talk about the importance of vaccines and how they protect us from diseases that make us very sick,” Dr. Moorjani says. “I also try to be a role model for my kids. Every fall, I make an appointment for our entire family to go to our regular pediatrician, and each one of us rolls up our sleeves—myself and my husband included—to receive our yearly flu shot.”
• Let kids feel their feelings. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, poor emotional health can weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to colds and other illnesses. Help boost your child’s health by recognizing and respecting his feelings. “So often adults will jump in and say It’ll be okay or Don’t worry or Let’s think about something else when a child is scared or sad,” Dr. Rowell says. “It’s better to begin by allowing them space to feel their emotions and to connect. I try to say things like, ‘That sounds like it was really hard’ or ‘I’m sorry you’re going through this.'”
