Las tres lecturas de hoy, sugieren que la respuesta de un Lider Cristiano es: SI Nurses Notes Common Cold When to see a doctor For Adults - seek medical attention if you have: Fever of 103 F (39.4 C) or higher Fever accompanied by sweating, chills and a cough with colored phlegm Significantly swollen glands Severe sinus pain For Children - in general, children are sicker with a common cold than adults are and often develop complications, such as ear infections. Your child doesn’t need to see the doctor for a routine common cold. But seek medical attention right away if your child has any of the following signs or symptoms: Fever of 103 F (39.4 C) or higher in children age 2 or older Fever of 102 F (38.9 C) or higher in children ages 6 wks to 2 yrs. Fever of 199 F (37.8 C) in newborns up to 6 weeks Signs of dehydration, such as urinating less often than usual Not drinking adequate fluids Fever that lasts more than three days Vomiting or abdominal pain Unusual sleepiness Severe headache Stiff neck Difficulty breathing Persistent crying Ear Pain Persistent cough If symptoms in a child or an adult last longer that 10 days, call your doctor.

In just a couple of hours a week as a volunteer you can provide an occasional ride to the doctor, to the store or just a friendly visit to a senior who is trying to remain in their own homes as long as possible. Caring Hands’ mission it to create “matches” between caring volunteers and seniors who may be isolated and in need of non medical assistance to stay on their own. Now we know many just need a ride now and then. Currently we have over 100 seniors in the Caring Hands program who just need an occasional ride. Can you help? You may be the person who helps someone maintain their independence a little longer. We all have many losses over the years. One of the toughest losses after the loss of a loved one is the loss of our driver’s license. Losing a driver’s license can cause dependence on others to do even the simplest task. There is also the risk of becoming isolated which may lead to a move to an assisted living facility before it is necessary. Each senior’s needs are different but what is constant about a Caring Hands volunteer and their senior is the relationship that develops. Please consider joining us. Feed Your Soul – Volunteer If you have can provide a ride occasionally or can give 1 to 3 hours a week to one person, please call and learn more about becoming a Caring Hands volunteer. It will change your life and the life of a senior as well. Our next trainings: Friday September 23, 2011 at the John Muir Outpatient Center – Brentwood Friday November 18, 2011 at the John Muir Medical Center – Concord. Imagine the look on the senior’s face if they saw you arriving each week and you were there because you wanted to be there. Call Linda Groobin at 925 952-2999 Check our website: www.johnmuirhealth.com/ get involved “volunteer” An orientation/interview is required before coming to our training. 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time/ 23rd Domingo Tiempo Ordinario September 4, 2011—4 de Septiembre de 2011 OPPORTUNITIES From The Catholic Voice If you’re a parishioner in the Oakland Diocese and are not receiving your free copy of The Catholic Voice through the mail, let us know and we’ll start your subscription.

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."
