Day 1 on the journey

Day 1

I managed to get away to the grocery store alone today. What a beautiful thing. I might as well had been at a spa it was so relaxing. Not having to juggle the demands of two toddlers, negotiating for good behavior, and spending extended time wiping down the cart with disinfecting wipes without missing the spot that will end up having a morsel of microscopic milk protein, and inevitably cause a major allergic reaction! Yes it's amazing to just be able to shop and thoroughly read ingredients.

Although Sophia never went anywhere outside of our yard today, she did play with her friends in the neighborhood and ended up having a mild contact reaction on her face and neck. After taking her home and washing her up, the allergy faded then returned after dinner really concentrated around her right eye. It later subsided and appears to be gone at this point. I put so much emphasis avoiding milk proteins in her diet because I can control that, but it's really hard to control the lingering left over milk protein everywhere.

All-in-all I am grateful that today she is healthy and happy and safe in her bed. Today was a good day.

Day 59-65 "What is anaphylaxis"

All parent's of young children living with a life threatening food allergy live in a constant, round the clock state of fear. Fear of the unknown, fear that our children cannot communicate their immediate needs and symptoms, and fear of putting anyone else in charge of managing this extremely dangerous allergy. Releasing control and delegating responsibilities is definitely where I struggle the most because, for me, handing that over to another person can be the biggest mistake I make. I'm not at all worried that a caregiver would not follow our rules and feed my darling junk food or too much sugar, let her watch too much TV, not use her manners, or let her negotiate her way on everything--- like most parent's would be concerned with. I'm worried that they might misread an ingredient, and show up at my house with cow's milk proteins lingering on their body or garments. I'm worried that they are oblivious to the MANY different ways that milk proteins are presen...

Going Global With Food Allergies

Have you ever looked at a map of the world, all laid out in front you, and thought, "hmmm...where to go?" Even if you are an adventurous, free-spirited person, food allergies have a way of paralyzingly our curiosity through fear. The constant need to have to be aware of all of our surroundings, naturally develops into taking less unnecessary trips; Always packing our own food and knowing the specific details of the environments we plan to enter ahead of time. The lack of general knowledge of food allergies in the public can force us into creating our own safety bubble. It's a cause and effect reaction that can force families with very severe food allergies to first, find themselves excluded, and then inevitably, because of their previous absence, not given any consideration. People and the public, in general, can become a safety hazard. To make matters even more difficult and suspect, food itself becomes a weapon because of cross contamination, poor labeling, and very l...

Perpetuating circumstances...

Seeking out the responsible culprits causing allergic reactions is an all encompassing role as a FA parent. When your child is touch allergic in addition to ingestion and airborne exposures the speculations are greater. I cannot count how many times my little one has had an allergic reaction to something unknown to us, leaving us to retrace every movement we've made. Could something be on the neighbors ball that we just played together with? Could it be something in the rubber on the balloon? Maybe something on the outside of a plastic grocery bag that a grocery clerk transferred proteins to after touching others people's milk items first? Did someone wear their shoes in our home and leave residual milk proteins somewhere? Where is this invisible milk protein lingering so we can clean it or avoid it?! It's a perpetual feeling that you didn't think of "everything" and you let your child down. We really do think of things on a microscopic level, and that's...
