A nice practical suggestion…
Go ahead and research the urgent cares and walk-ins in the area. Trust me, you will want to do this. The middle of the night is prime time for kiddo sickness. Injuries tend to happen after your primary is closed. Consider printing out your findings and keeping them on the fridge.
Key: Research hours. Did you know some are open all night? Key #2, Research ratings. Like anything, not all places are created equal (trust me here as well).
If you have a couple good options available or you have a sickness that doesn’t need to be seen immediately, consider calling ahead and asking about current wait time.
Also, don’t be intimidated by the word “Urgent” in “Urgent Care”. It is just a walk-in.
Also, set a reminder to take another look every 6 months or so. In my experience, Urgent Cares come and go, change locations and change hours. You don’t want to find out in the middle of the night. : )
