Vacation Emergencies

Is your family like mine?

I have everyone’s medical history in my head, so if there is an ER or doctor visit, I am Supermom! I can tell them who’s allergic to what medicine, who’s had what, when, which doctor, etc.

But ...... what happens if the emergency happens to me?

What if I got hurt, or I'm away and one of my children gets hurt, would my husband or any of my children know who’s allergic to penicillin, what medicines/suppliments everyone is on, what doctor is treating my daughter for asthma and how?

I realized I need to have this on hand - for home and for vacations. A sheet listing each persons medical history, including doctor’s and emergency contact numbers.

Where to keep it?
  • At home - your family’s phone book
  • In your car’s glove compartment
  • In your first aid box
  • Shrink it down, laminate it and keep a copy in your purse and your husband’s wallet.

I can still be Supermom even if I am super hurt or super far away by giving my family super information.
