Kid's Medical Records

About the Book

Every page in Kid's Medical Records is designed for specific records pertaining to different aspects of a child's medical history from birth to 10 years of age.

In today's world it is more important than ever for children to grow up having a great deal of medical knowledge about themselves. What better way to make this happen then to give them the gift of their birth record, growth chart, family medical history, immunizations, doctor visits, hospital stays, tests and check ups all conveniently grouped together in one book?

There are places to record adverse reactions to medication and shots, as well as specifics on where things like glasses and hearing aids were purchased. There are several pages throughout the book where parents can write in other "medical notes or notes of interest." These pages may be used to record notes on special medical problems of the child, family matters that matter, or just worldwide newsy notes that would help a child in later years to be more aware of the world he grew up in.

Last, but not least, is a section entitled "Compare through the Years." This section provides special records for children ages 3-10 to record "things that affect their well being." Parent's are encouraged to fill in the blanks in the "attitudes" and "eats, drinks and exercise" sections once each year, with their child's exact answer. Since some questions pertain to school friends and school teachers, it would be good to do this each year toward the end of the school term.

Whether these pages bring joy to their hearts or tears to their eyes, children will love the memories and will love their parent's for sharing them through the pages of this book.

About the Author

I was born in Dermott, Texas, a very small community located in West Texas mesquite country. Snyder, located just eight miles southeast of Dermott, is where I grew up, graduated from high school, met my husband, Wayland, and reared our three children. As they grew up and married, we were eventually blessed with eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Shortly after finishing high school, I went to work for an accountant and have been involved in the world of bookkeeping ever since. In 1979 I opened Special Moments, a specialty dress and gift shop. I sold the dress shop after a few years and closed the gift shop in early 1990. After that, I spent my time serving on various boards and committees until our departure from Snyder in 1997.

In the latter part of that year, we purchased a home on the South Concho River inside the city limits of San Angelo, Texas. Indeed a beautiful place with lots of wildlife to enjoy.

Following our move, I kept very busy as a volunteer at the church and taking care of our youngest granddaughter while her mom worked. She is now six years old and in the first grade and has a wonderful little brother that is one and a half years old. I must say they are the "apple of our eyes" and the "light of our lives."

I returned to the working world in 2004 when I accepted a position with a local gift shop. This job quickly turned into being manager and bookkeeper for the business.

I enjoy life and truly have a lot to be thankful for.
