medical matters

Just in case we lose the bag containing our on-road-medical-supplies and need to replace everything, here’s the list. Our lovely doctor definitely errs on the side of caution and would happily have sent us off with an epipen (given one son’s week-long hospital visit after a simple bee sting) and twice as many pills and potions, but he just smiled when I assured him we hardly ever take anything and yes the smallest packet of everything would be just fine thankyouverymuch.
