So many parents refuse to consider ANY medical id that I still think a shoe tag is better than nothing. Personally I wear a medic alert. The 1-800 number to get my medical file makes it the best choice for my complex medical needs. But again, some ID is better than no ID.

A couple years ago my daughter (who has Down syndrome) was in a very serious car accident. She was with her dad in his semi truck, several states away. As a result of the crash, the truck she was removed from burned to a crisp. When my daughter was pulled from the truck, her shoes were gone. Fortunately her dad was able to speak, and within a couple of hours someone was able to reach me. But had her dad been injured nobody would have known who she was, and it would have taken a long time for it to be sorted out. (we're divorced so I wouldn't have been listed anywhere as a contact.) How many times do you see videos or photos of accidents and there are shoes lying about on the crash scene? (for that matter, how often are you driving down the road and see someone's shoe lying on the shoulder? LOL) A friend of mine, who's daughter won't wear jewelry, has taken to sewing medical id labels inside her daughter's clothing.Leah Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326240393099112570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798368475920876945.post-76849753067297323802011-08-22T19:31:07.186-04:002011-08-22T19:31:07.186-04:00oh how I love this post!
