Hi Guys,
I’m so
happy to share our
emergency kit
@myhealthcarekit
with you today!
It
is a very
comprehensive
emergency
kit. I
really love
it.
This kit makes you review your LO’s allergic reaction protocol from your physicians/allergist. So, make sure to obtain this info from your physician.
The kit consists of a small binder with 5 pages. The binder is enclosed in a mesh cover that zips up so it is like a small pouch. The inside of the front cover has 3 epipen holders while the back cover has a zip pocket.
BINDER: you write down the medical history, allergens, emergency contacts, DOB, insurance providers/ID#, symptoms for sever to mild reactions, names of the medications, names of the medications, dosages, and expiration dates. This is a really all-in-one emergency info. binder. I recommend filing up the expiration dates in pencil. I really liked the identification form on the front cover. See pics.
Beside the
binder, there are
a couple of
printouts that you
will be filling
out and placing
inside of the
kit.
Also,
you will have
access to the
printouts as PDFs
online, so you can
just type all the
info. and print it
out. This
feature allows you
type your
instructions,
making them very
easy to
red.
You should fill out the form in an easy-to-follow manner, so a 3rd party can easily and clearly understand when and how to administer an epipen or medication to your LO.
I loved this process. It was a great reminder to us that it is critical to be ready for an emergency. Food allergies are very serious. Reactions can kill a person in a matter of seconds.
I made scenario kits by following our allergist’s protocol. There were three scenarios. I printed out directions on how to administer medications in ziplock bags and put the 3 bags in the kit.
My friend who is a pharmacist told me that the medication in the syringes should be replaced every 6 months. So, you should do that.
Overall, I highly recommend this kit to anyone who has food allergies. It is critical for teachers, nannies, grandparents, or whoever handles our son’s emergency situation while we are at work.
Literally, we can’t make any mistakes.

Disclaimer: As always,
I’m NOT a
physician.
I’m not
suggesting how to
create your
emergency kit.
I’m just
sharing my
experience of how
to create an
emergency kit for
our son.
Everyone’s
allergens and
allergic
reactions, and
medications are
different. Please
DO NOT follow or
use the medication
listed here.
Please ask YOUR
allergist/physician
or YOUR LO’s
allergists or
physician to
create your own
emergency
kit.
