I mentioned on an earlier post about First Aid link on an older post I
did (which I can't find at the moment). So here's the First aid
links.
Note it's Redesigned (by Julie and Co. at the Idaho Site which is a
Major resource for us). If you want to move Ahead or back on the
pages, there's an Icon there to move forward or back in the site.
**IF you want a Printable version of the First Aid chart (there's also
one for Swimmers if any of you like to Swim as well), there's a
Printable Version tab on each page, that will reformat the page to take
out the extra background Colours and stuff to make it easier to print
and read.
I printed the 2 FIrst AId ones when I was first diagnosed to show
to family etc. and they had it posted for if they ever needed it.

Pages (open point) is at

Hi Gordon, hi Julie.

After reading your 2 First Aid sites, I was wishing my parents had read it
when I was younger, then my mother may have stopped trying to stuff my
meds down my throat every time I had a seizure, and my father wouldn't
have thought I was possessed in some way!

I was also reading in my "Epilepsy Review", an acclaimed magazine
here in the UK written by specialists in neurology and neurosurgery for
people with Epilepsy and their carers, that there are special helmets
for toddlers aged about 1-3 with epilepsy, called "Thudgaurd" which is
suppose to stop youngsters knocking their heads badly, when they still
haven't mastered the art of walking.

The pic' in the Review, showed that they were cute little pink and blue
helmets, with "Mickey Mouse" type ears on the top. I couldn't find a pic',
or article about them on the web, as they're pretty new, but I did find a
few personal experiences about them, which I thought you might like to
look at if you ever wanted to write a small first aid article for
toddlers, or very worried parents.
