I have a question...

yes, I have a question. The question is concerning medical bracelets. Is anyone using medical bracelets? If so which ones, and have you found cute ones?

For years (its quite embarrassing) I have been thinking about getting medical bracelets for the girls. At least for Alena as she is old enough to leave it on. To-date so I have not found anything I liked and I know that she would not wear anything which is cute. So I go back and forth. Does she really need it? Well, OK we may get into an accident...I know chances are remote, but so are chances of having CG...Anyone have found anything cool?

I think a couple of years ago a read in the New York Times about a mother in Colorado who started stickers, bracelets, etc. for her highly allergic child.

I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the link, Leslie. This is exactly what I was looking for. I think I will let each girl pick a bracelet...as for having them wear it, well at least for Alena I think its a good idea. She will be starting Kindergarten in the fall and is not with me 24/7 - plus as you said, you just never know...

I have galactosemia. I never wore a medic alert growing up but, as an adult a few people have said what if you get hurt in an accident or something. So I have one now.

Thank you very much for your comment. That is exactly what I worry about. So many meds contain lactose, etc...

One more question for you. Which medical altert bracelet did you choose? Thank you.

I just went to www.medicalert.org and got a regular bracelet. But, I was able to choose the color for the Medic Alert Logo. They have a lot of color choices.
