Last week I mentioned that Jed would probably be homeschooled for preschool. Homeschooling has always been on the table as an option for us; even before Jed was born, Darrel and I discussed it as a possibility. Back then it was simply because Darrel and I both struggled in public … Continue reading
Everything looks better after a good night’s sleep, you know? I don’t think there’s any way I can possibly THANK YOU ALL for the outpouring of support and encouragement we received yesterday. It means the world to me. Seeing how many people are “in our corner” and praying for my … Continue reading
Like I said, this is a week of anniversaries. One year ago today, our world changed forever. Oh, we didn’t get our diagnosis until August 1st, but on July 18th – the day after we learned Jed’s IgE to egg had gotten so much worse that we needed an Epi-pen … Continue reading
This week is just an Anniversary Week for us, and kick-starting it is today – July 17, 2013 is One Year we’ve been the parents of a child in need of an Epi-Pen. Last year on this day, I took Jed to the allergist to be re-tested for his allergies. … Continue reading
Last Saturday we had a double Birthday Party for the boys! Thanks to my sheer awesomeness, I forgot to invite anyone until Thursday night. Yeah, I know. I rock. Consequently, it was a family affair with just my parents, the boys, Darrel and myself. That’s okay, though, because this is … Continue reading
Tuesday evening the kids and I were at the grocery store. Jed was entertaining himself by looking at the candy, which, as I’ve already said, the poor child has no concept of. He doesn’t want to eat any of it, he just likes the pretty colors! He grabbed a Snickers bar … Continue reading
It’s no secret I have a love/hate relationship with doctors. (See this, this, this, this and this for evidence.) I’d go so far as to say that if you are a doctor I have dealt directly with, there is only about a 5% chance that I have neutral feelings about … Continue reading
Sigh. Well, I hate to do it, but I’m going to have to share a link. I don’t want to send any more traffic to this horrible waste of the written word, but you won’t understand what I’m talking about it you haven’t read it. So, go read why Renee … Continue reading
Over the weekend, one of the other FPIES Mama’s on the boards mentioned taking her children to the circus. She had received special permission to bring food for her FPIES kiddo, but her kids really really really wanted cotton candy! Fortunately, she remembered to check the ingredients first, which was … Continue reading
Tuesday this week we met with the dietician. I honestly didn’t have high hopes, as – aside from one friend who is a knowledgeable dietician (and fellow FPIES Mama) – our experiences with dieticians has been lackluster. In this case, I was pleasantly thrilled! This lady knew about my kids … Continue reading
