I am concerned for Terry when he is alone here at our house and I'm at work or traveling on business.
He can still walk, but easily loses his balance and falls. I feel a medical alert would be good for when he is alone and its going to be hours before I will be home. Susanne Waite |

I know it would make me feel better if my husband would wear something at least when we are not at home - especially because he has other health issues as well as KD.
We do have the medical information in a "File of Life" magnet pocket that I got from the local hospital. It was sponsored by the hospital, local fire fighters and other businesses in the area. The magnetic vinyl pocket is designed to hold a card with your pertinent medical information and then you place it on the refrigerator in the kitchen, which is where Emergency Medical Personnel will look for them if they have to come to your house. I have added a KDA brochure to my husband's file. I also remember a "Vial of Life" that was being promoted quite a number of years ago. It was similar to a prescription pill bottle with a document rolled up inside with similar information. |
