Dare Devil  

My son who is active and allergic to antibiotics, latex and a host of other things took a tumble. And I mean a tumble! He rode with no hands with his feet on the pegs of his bicycle down the biggest hill in our neighborhood. Both my husband and I have told him never ever to do this. But, I guess being a twelve-year-old dare devil with no fear and in the infallible stage, our "NO" did not mean too much. From what his brothers said, he flew over the handlebars and just skidded on rocks and pebbles.  

Trip to the Acute Care Center

So here I am not trying to say I told you so and keeping it together knowing if he gets an infection, we have a problem. So, I gather our belongings and off to the acute care center we go. Now I am the expert and all, I should know what to bring ~ bring the health organizer with all of his information and the insurance card and that's that. Well with everything racing in my mind I forgot the organizer! All of the important information is in there about antibiotics and tetanus shots etc. Now I have to go by memory! i did have the insurance card because that is in my purse. 

Learning Experience 

This trip was just routine. I had the answers because I knew my son would be okay. I was calm. No broken bones, he could breath, he was conscience. Of all the things that could of happened that day, they did not. He learned that hard way that Dads and Moms say no for good reasons and I learned something too.

Put the Most Important Information In Your Purse or Wallet

Have important information in wallet or purse1. Emergency cards2. Health Tag / Medic TagThis should contain allergies, medications, doctor phone numbers and any illness. Cover yourself always! Even put an emergency card in your car if you think it will help. Being over prepared is so much better than being under prepared and lets face it, we will never get in a jam for being prepared. 

What is Next 

As always, as we teach my son in return he keeps teaching us. He thanked his angels and so did we.
