We’ve had a rough couple of days. Most of it is non-FPIES related, so I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say I’ve been feeling very shaky. Even if I’d been feeling great, though, yesterday would have brought me down. Yesterday, Zac reacted to the pork. It’s … Continue reading

After I shared our “Day in the Life of FPIES“, I got a lot of comments about how much time I spend in the kitchen and how focused we must be on food all the time. So I thought it would be fun to document everything we cooked for a … Continue reading
Saturday Zac ate another ounce of pork at breakfast. Then he ate another ounce at dinner. Throughout the day he was happy, pleasant, playful, and perfect. He pooped a bit more than normal, and had hiccups for a few minutes in the afternoon, but that was it for anything remotely … Continue reading

Zac had an FPIES reaction yesterday. The proof came, as always, with a poopy diaper. His first diaper of the day looked great, but since we are trialing a food, I tested it for blood anyway. It was…inconclusive. It could have been blood. It might not have been. Hmm… Half … Continue reading

Right now I’m supposed to be sitting on a lounge chair in Antigua, eating anything I want and maybe even sipping a cocktail. Darrel is supposed to be sitting by my side, and the kids are supposed to be happily playing and being spoiled back home by my parents. At … Continue reading
