Food allergy families are always looking for the safest and best ways to approach food trials, so I’m here today to tell you the simple truth: I don’t have a clue, either. But – Hah! Gotcha with that title, right? (Sorry, felt like having a little fun today!) Seriously, though, … Continue reading
I just have to state for the record that one thing that really stinks about FPIES is the complication factor. The last week we’ve been confused about the carrot trial on Zac. He has definitely had an acidic diaper rash and poo full of mucous, he has screamed in pain … Continue reading
fol·ly (fl) n.pl.fol·lies 1. A lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight. 2.a. An act or instance of foolishness: regretted the follies of his youth. b.

Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful words of prayer and comfort yesterday. I don’t know how we’d endure if we didn’t have such great support. Today’s post is going to be brief.

Before I talk about this AWESOME recipe, I thought I’d give you a little update. Last night, Zac had a definite FPIES reaction. No confusion; his diapers told the story quite clearly. (I’ll refrain from details, as I’m about to talk about food!) We’re not 100% sure it is the … Continue reading

I just love Fall. The crisp coolness of the air and the simmering excitement of upcoming holidays all conspires to make me feel revitalized. With the days still warm but the nights and mornings nice and crisp, well, Fall is definitely here. For some reason, that revitalization always makes me … Continue reading
Before my impromptu craft fair hiatus, I left our regularly scheduled posting with a cliff-hanger: Zac had an ear infection last week that required another round of Rocephin shots.
