<li>Send a first aid kid. Things to include:
-band-aids (consider buying just a big pack at costco or something, they come in handy and never expire)
-hydrocortizone cream (I got bit by a spider late one night and couldn’t drive anywhere to get some and it was terrible…I ended up smashing a benedryl pill and spreading it)
-advil, tylenol, motrin, and any other OTC meds used
-medical tape and guaze (just a little is all you need to get you by)
-epipen (if you need one for anything)
-cold pack</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m sure all you mothers out there know some other crucial things, but that’s everything I used for this year. A friend got Shingles (yes, shingles, at age 20…brought on by stress/no sleep) which is where the gauze came in handy. Broken fingers used the tape.<br>
Words of more wisdom: make sure we have our insurance cards prior to leaving. As in, ASK TO SEE THEM! Make sure they’re update and usable, as I got down to school with expired ones and it was a pain to deal with when I broke a foot. Terrible.</p>
