This blog will chronicle the life of our toddler, Sophia, for 365 days. It will lend to the cause of Food Allergy Awareness by creating a birds eye view into the common struggles and victories in the lives of our family. Our intention is to spread awareness that "yes" you can help! I am happy to watch our journey unfold in a way that can be helpful or inspiring to others. Today the seed has been planted. Each day I will write something until we have chronicled a full year in our lives.
An inside view of the food allergy epidemic. Sophia is a 6 year old living with a life threatening food allergy to both milk proteins: whey and casein. She is anaphylactic to even the touch or breath of a concentrated protein. She, subsequently, suffers from hives, excema, and respiratory symptoms to the touch of a slight presence of either milk protein. She is among the many other children in the U.S. suffering with food allergies. There is no cure, no treatment, only avoidance.
