Earlier this week I wrote about FPIES Children With NO Safe Foods, asking for your help in spreading the story to help these children. Y’all were awesome! I hear there was a boost in Facebook “Likes” on Michael’s page, and I know several of you shared his link. Thank you! (And if … Continue reading
