For a long time I was unorganized, which is very unlike the way I usually am. I found that my usual excellent memory just wasn't working well. It all seemed to run together, and I began to forget if I had given her all of her pills. Then I began using a calendar for both counts and medications. I wrote every med on the correct days, then checked them off as I gave them.
Many hospitals supply folders containing xeroxed sheets for record keeping.
The folder used by the hospital that my daughter went to contained four sheets with thirty lines per page. My record-keeping system was given to me by the hospital on the first day. We were given a notebook with information about the illness and treatment. Also included were charts that we could use to keep all the information about the child's blood work, progress, reactions to drugs, etc. While we were at the hospital we were able to get the information off one of the computers on our floor each afternoon.
