And another thing--I have a friend who's DH has Lou Gehrig's. She is appalled at the condition of many hospital emergency rooms. She preaches to everyone who will listen not to leave a family member at a hospital without an "advocate." She has insisted on medication, mopped the dirty floor and helped nurses insert an IV (she's not a doctor, but went to vet school). She is also in my phone as an ICE--she doesn't want any of her friends, even falling asleep in a hospital without someone standing by their bed.

Also, just because you carry a driver's license doesn't mean they can instantly find the cell phone number of a relative or husband. My husband also travels for a living, so my sister (who lives locally) is also on my RoadID. If they leave a message at our home, or my husband's cell--it could be up to 4 hours before he got the message (if his cell phone battery isn't dead). Just food for thought..........
