I wrote almost all of this post back on January 29, 2018. It needed some editing and and good conclusion, and somehow I never got around to doing that. So here is what I wrote in January; everything since then will be tacked on to the end. Oh, and…Hello again!!! … Continue reading
I wish we were normal. I wish we didn’t have so many food issues. I wish I were still obese and could feed my kids without thinking. I wish my kids could throw up and I didn’t have to analyze every aspect of their lives to determine the cause. I … Continue reading
Yesterday’s recipe was a surprise to me. I wrote it and scheduled to post it last week – and forgot all about it! Just to give a little update, things are better. First, I want to thank you all for your concern, prayers, and insight. After the last post, I … Continue reading
Last week, when we needed to give Rocephin shots to Zac thanks to a double ear infection, I was sure we were about to endure another FPIES reaction. After all, he’d reacted to his last round of shots. Imagine my surprise as each day passed with NO signs of a reaction … Continue reading

Today we are supposed to be in Atlanta, having follow up appointments with our GI and Allergist. We are not in Atlanta. We cancelled the appointments. It was REALLY hard to make this decision. Darrel and I spend our lives trying to make sure our kiddos have the very best … Continue reading
Yeah. I know. It’s actually “anger”. You’ll understand. Let me tell you a story about Monday… Jed peed in his riding toy. It leaked all over the floor, of course. Before that, he head butted me in the face making my eye sore and tender. I decided to eat a … Continue reading
The last half of August was a hot mess for me. I worked ten days in the month, all of which were after the 16th. That explains my absence here last week, by the way; anything beyond basic survival was WAY beyond my abilities! To make matters worse, this last … Continue reading
