Thanks for the detailed list. It will be a big help to alot of people. I have a client who was taking care of her husband the last few years before he died. She did something similar to your list. She took a piece of paper and listed all his medications on one side and all his hospitalizations on the other side. She always carried that paper in her purse. Each time they took her husband to the ER, she took the paper and handed it to the intake nurse. The nurse made a copy and the wife didn't have to give a medical history every time. When she told me that story, is when I realized how really smart ordinary people are at figuring out how to deal with the challenges of their lives.

Bless you for taking such good care of your mother.

Thanks for the detailed list.

It saves so much time when needed. And time is everything in an emergency.

Bless you for taking such good care of your mother.

Basicaly, I am selfish. I want to keep her around for as long as possible.
