Protocol Sheets

Keep your protocol sheets everywhere and anywhere (glove compartment, diaper bag, by the kitchen phone, caretakers and family members’ homes). My family practitioner had our son’s Protocol letter reduced on a copier to 4 inches by 4 inches and keeps it in his wallet at all times! I am sure it has come in handy the times we called him at 3 am! We also have a copy on file at the hospital. We also made a reduced size copy and taped it to our driver’s licenses in the event of a car accident, etc. Taking these measures greatly reduces anxiety during an emergency. It also gives us peace of mind and a feeling of control.
