But he won't keep a watch on, though band-aids are not a problem. I would love to get something like this for Andy. But he won’t keep a watch on, though band-aids are not a problem.

Just curious. I had looked into alternative medalert accessories but was advised that emergency personnel were more likely to look for the bracelet or dogtag. Again, no value judgement--just curious, because I don't really know; we haven't yet had the situation. Shawn3k, thanks for that link. I'd been looking for an expandable band type medic alert bracelet without much luck, but it's on that site. On kind of related note--has anyone gotten their child a state ID? What do you do in the situation where someone may not be able to compose a written signature? Has anyone had a situation where the tattoo was a lifesaver or led to discovery of a lost child?

Matt is the same way with bandaids. Never leaves them on. With my eczema I can only wear NExcare active or comfort strips. Matt hurt his elbow at school last week and has a scab. Yesterday he handed me a bandaid and I thought he wanted me to put it in since he is so observant most often he might have noticed I did not have any on my fingers. I put bandaid back and he got it out again. I opened bandaid not knowing where it was to be placed and then he turned his elbow toward me, but it was 99 degrees and his arm was sticky and it did not stay on long. I was talking to his aide on Monday (there was no school on Tue) about meaninful communication. Matt is not grasping the concept of a calendar. Also the same with numbers. I had some ideas. Going to write an article on the topic. I bought the sneaker tag id but I cannot see what is written on that and how many professionals and others know to look at the shoes for id tags.

I noticed the other day he has a tan band on that arm from wearing it. He wears it when he runs (races and training) and when he is out where he may not be right with one of us all the time.

Periodically I update them but they last pretty well. I've seen engraved as well as laser printed ones, and I think the engraving is a bit more durable. I may actually switch to removable bracelets because with them starting to play sports (I found a special needs soccer league and Gus starts this weekend - wish him luck), they may not be allowed to wear anything that could be construed as jewelry. Initially I wanted something they couldn't remove, but it's less of an issue now.
