It's summer which means people are at the pool, beach, lake and river.
While water activities are great, they can be dangerous.
Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of death by unintentional injury in children ages 5-14 and is the number 1 cause of death in children ages 1-4.
88% of drownings occur with an adult present in the area. Drowning can be fatal or non fatal. Dry drowning is not a real medical term. If your child inhales water and is having difficulty breathing, a fast rate of breathing or persistent coughing seek medical care.
If you are at the water with your child, an adult needs to be assigned to watch the children constantly. They need to have their full attention on the water and children at all times as drowning can go unnoticed as it is often a very quiet process. If the water watcher needs a break then a new adult needs to be assigned that role.
Floaties are NOT sufficient protection against drowning. Life jackets are should be worn on boats and near bodies of water. Ensure your child has a properly fitted life jacket by weight. ... See MoreSee Less

IF YOU ARE ON MEDICAID, HAVE A CHILD ON MEDICAID OR JUST CARE ABOUT MEDICAID PLEASE READ AND ACT.
Overnight last night the Republicans in the House of Representatives released their budget proposal. If passed their proposal calls for $715 BILLION dollars to be cut from Medicaid's budget. IF this passes 8.6 million people could lose health insurance, the vast majority of which will be children. Funding for Medicaid comes from both a combination of federal and states funds. For the 40% of Georgia's children on Medicaid, federal funding accounts for 34% of the budget. If federal funding is cut, the state will have to make up the difference somehow which could include cutting other programs to fund Medicaid, making it harder to qualify for Medicaid, raising taxes, etc.
I know the president has promised not to cut Medicaid but the house is planning to pass a budget that will make those cuts whether he approves of them or not.
This is an issue that should not be partisan as it will harm our most vulnerable citizens, children. I have listed several articles below from both sides of the aisle warning against cuts.
So what can you do? Call your representatives TODAY and tell them not to vote to cut Medicaid.
