arm restraints

Postby chicka-monkey » Tue Sep 05, 2006 7:23 am

Does anyone know where I can get the nice arm restraints that are shown in the few pictures that you guys have shown. Kerry? Did the hospital give them out. We had horrible ones! They fell apart after a couple days. They were made of a thin fabric and I had to velcro each one all the way around the arm. If anyone has any that they don't want, I will gladly pay for shipping.

We have 2 pairs that we won't be using after our 3 weeks is up..I did cut the tags off them because she kept putting them in her mouth..They should be pretty easy to figure out still though..If you velcro them the more narrow end goes to the wrist and the metal bar goes along their elbow..(The tags just said left and right on them) We'd be more than happy to send them to you when we're done with them..I can't WAIT to get them out of here lol...The restraints are the same ones that are in the lastest blog with the little boy with the lip repair..We have those and ones with spongebob on them..Don't care for spongebob but we have her restraints on under long sleeves most of the time.. :wink:

http://www.cleftadvocate.org/projects.html If you go to that link, they have a resource bank that people donate their restraints to as well..I think you just scroll down and go to resource bank!

Great! I'm sorry you are having problems. I must read up on why you are at the hospital again. I hope Ella is doing ok, now. I will be thinking and praying for her! I think everyone on this board prays for that little girl!
