Managing Vital Information for Those in Our Care

Posted on by

This is so exciting! I can’t wait to share with you what I discovered.

We now have available great mobile management tools for everyone; whether caring for a special needs child, elderly parents or others, or living alone.  What an opportunity to have all the allergies, dietary needs, medical information, phone numbers, wants and needs, all in one easy access place. And, all of the information is kept extremely safe and secure.

When I suddenly ended up in ICU with a life-threatening illness, my husband would have had a much easier time handling the situation with a ready list of my allergies, current medicines,  medical information, all in one place. He would have been able to give  our children and others who needed to know access to my current condition and needs.

Caregiver’s Touch has created a smart phone app that is really safe and secure and seems to cover all the bases. Click here for an exciting demo and more information:

Be sure to allow time to check out the web or phone demos.

Often we spend much of our day simply searching for information. It would be so helpful to have it all at one place; easy to get to and understand and readily available to those we choose to use it. (Note, no one can access this information without your prior approval. The photos and information on these sites are NOT public information.)

Please take time to give me feedback on what you think about this amazing product.

How Modern Technology Can Help Us Care for Others

Posted on by

Many of you simply care for your spouse and children and for others who may be living in your homes. Some of you are caring for elderly parents either in your home or theirs. Many are trying to manage the needs of a large family while working a full-time job.

How do you stay in touch with all of this? Do you have all the medical papers needed for each individual should a crisis arise? Do you have easy access to medicine lists, doctors’ numbers, and other vital information? Could someone else find the information if you were unavailable?

If you have a child with specific allergies or needs, do others in your family know what their needs are?

My brother faithfully called me from out of state every single week to ask about Mother’s condition and her needs.  I did well to tell him how she was that very day. Later I would recall information he needed but I had failed to tell him.

I’ve been exploring some ideas that may be helpful for you.  In doing so, I look for inexpensive to free and programs or items that are easy to use and understand (in other words, something even I could manage easily!)

In my next letter I will be sharing one of the best products I have seen for managing information for the entire family in one place. Be thinking now of those who may need this information and be on the lookout for Caring from the Heart next week.

Hugs,

Encourage a friend to sign up for the newsletter. Help is on its way! Also,  a copy of MY MOTHER MY CHILD would make a great Mother’s Day gift for any age.

Caregiver Parent Friend Change Will Come

Posted on by

Tiny white snowdrops have pushed their way through the dead leaves to greet winter’s end. Two chattering wrens perch on the banister as if considering where to make a nest and a family of grey squirrels frolic in the trees.

As I write this it is sixty degrees here in the Ozarks–soft breezes call me outside. Yet it’s not winter’s end and a blizzard is forecast for the weekend with frigid temperatures and snow and ice.

Change – it is inevitable although usually not so drastic, or is it? Have you faced unforeseen changes in your life in the past year? Are you aware of some changes you will have to make this year in order to care for your family or others?

Many of you have been called to step in and help in areas you felt ill-equipped for and yet have done a great job. Others perhaps have had your schedules changed due to work, illness, or other issues. Sometimes change can be hard.

As sure as there is a God in heaven, the flowers will bloom again; the birds will find a home; and we, too, will find our places in the scheme of things. In thinking of  your changes (past and future) pause to find something praiseworthy and give thanks for those.

It’s easy for me today. I simply pause, breathe deeply, and give God thanks for each of you reading this letter. I am so thankful we have a few minutes together. I pray that this year I can offer real hope and helps to you as you care for others.

I continue to learn of exciting avenues to explore and plan to share new ideas each month. You know, I would love to hear from you as well. What do you need me to do for you? What changes are you facing?

Remember to find good thoughts to focus upon and trust the One Who holds you in His hand.

Hugs,

Have you read my book, MY MOTHER MY CHILD? Filled with helps and hope, it’s a great gift to pass along to someone.
