Ouch! If you're a parent, there will surely come a day when your child injures herself. How you respond in the moment is important! Tune in to hear some tips from Miranda about keeping your kiddos (and maybe yourself) calm in the heat of a *painful* moment. And, speaking of painful moments, Mel shares about how a beer chicken gave her a full-on Zombie arm... weird right?? But the weirdness doesn't stop there (it never does!) because Mel teaches us about the unusual history of Band-Aids! Mel tells us the things we never needed to know about the product we never knew we needed... until we did! So throw a wine cooler in your first aid kit (it doubles as an ice pack, right?) and let's get going!
Spotlight:
PROJECT CURE (Commission on Urgent Relief and Equipment)
Since 1987, Project C.U.R.E has been delivering life-saving medical equipment and supplies to hospitals and clinics throughout the under-resourced world. We are the world’s largest distributor of donated international medical relief—touching the lives of children and families in more than 135 countries. On average, each week Project C.U.R.E. delivers three to five semi-truck-sized containers packed with the medical equipment and supplies so desperately needed by local hospitals and clinics.
