| Medic Alert Bracelets
I've had trouble keeping my daughter's MedicAlert ID on her since she pulls at it until she gets it off. After many months of guilt over her not wearing it, I finally found a solution. I bought some "shoe charms" at Target. (These are charms that you attach to your shoelaces via a necklace-like clasp.) I took the clasps off of 2 of the charms and attached them to my daughter's MedicAlert ID. Then, I attached it to the shoelace on her tennis shoe. I check them every day or two to make sure they are still firmly clasped, but have used this for a month or so and it's worked great. Karen Zappa, Bloomington, IL
