One oj the more common illnesses / see in clinic is diarrhea.
The most common cause of diarrhea is a viral infection of the intestines
The symptoms of diarrhea usually last about 3 days, but may
last up to 7 days The frequent diaper changes can be a hassle, but
most cases of diarrhea arc uncomplicated and do not cause a threat to
the health of the child. If lots of fluids are lost during a bad diarrheal
attack, however, a child inay run the risk of dehydration Dehy dration
can have serious medical consequences, but it is relatively easy to
prevent by making sure that the child drinks enough of the right kinds
of liquids
A good choice of fluids for infants with diarrhea includes the oral
rehydration solutions, such as Pedialyte or lnfalyc These have a combination
of salt. sugar and water to replace that which is lost in the
. bowel movements These solutions will work much better than plain
water, or fluids that have a lot of sugar in them, such as soft drinks or
juices lots of sugar tends to make diarrhea worse If you use these
liquids, make sure they arc diluted with water
Children with diarrhea need about twice as much to drink as they
normally need For instance, a one year old with diarrhea should
drink about 0 to 8 ounces every 2 hours. It is good to not allow a child
to stay on an oral hy dration solution only for more than 24 hours. It is
important that your child returns to a regular diet as soon as possible
Although y our child may not be interested in solid foods during the
first 24 hours of their illness . it is important to begin feeding again as
soon as possible especially after 12 hours without food or formula At
that point, continue with breast-feeding or the same formula the baby
is on If the child is eating solids, try bland foods such as noodles,
crackers, oatmeal, rice, vegetables bananas or yogurt. Avoid fried ,
fatty foods or foods with a lot of sugar, such as ice cream or sweet
cereals
Well, that's all on diarrhea. Take care and we'll talk again next week.

CHRIST IN 1 CORINTHIANS 13
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is
not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is
not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but
rejoices in the right. I Cor. 13:4-6.

The observance of Thanksgiving tomorrow signals the beginning
of the holida> season that commences with the big turkey feast and
calumniates with the ham hocks and black eyed peas of New Year 's
Da> In the middle of the season, of course, is the hol> day of Christinas
The season is one w hich everyone, including all of our students
as w ell as our employees, look forward to not just because of the tunc
they get off from school but also because of the meanings these special
days have for us
Except for Christmas and Easter, no holiday on our calendar more
embodies the spint of brotherhood The Fourth of July. Presidents
Day and Veterans' Day. among others. ha\c more of a patriotic theme
but Thanksgiving Day is the one which focuses on the brotherhood
of man Who. after all. isn't familiar with the story of that first Thanksgiving
when the Native Americans and pilgrims sat down together for
a meal which, w hile not comparable to what most of us will have on our
tables tomorrow, was a symbol of the ability of men of good w ill to
come together and break bread in the spirit of friendship It was an
important concept- one that has resulted in a country that has been
able to exist for centuries with a relative minimum of strife considering
the multitudes and diversities which makeup our United States
The diversities that exist today arc a far cry from that first Thanksgiving
w hen it was essentially just a meeting of two cultures Today,
this nation is made up of people from many countries w ho have brought
their own cultures and religions with them in the hopes of making a
better life for themselves and their families here than they knew in their
homelands Some were greeted with open arms Others were often
greeted w ith suspicion or outright hostility because of being different
from their neighbors. Still a willingness on the part of many on both
sides to understand those differences and to deal with them helped to
allay suspicions and lessen any existing hostility
There is no doubt that tomorrow's holiday reminds us of a simpler
time that dealt with a small group in a small area but it was the attitude
of the participants that made the ev ent noteworthy. They looked beyond
their differences and considered, instead, how they could help
each other- the sort of thing which would be appropriate even today
It is my hope that, as we observe this holiday tomorrow, our students
as well as their parents and everyone else have come to understand
that its not a time to merely sit dow n to a special meal but a time
to reflect on the brotherhood that permeated that first Thanksgiving If
they can do that, then it is possible that we arc closer to the day when
that feeling will be a universal one throughout the country
My wish for all young people and their families, our educators and
their families and every one else in the county a most enjoyable and
most healthy Thanksgiving.
