Welcome and Get Comfy...It's Gonna Be a Long Road

Welcome to the launch of my blog detailing my families experience with severe and multiple food allergies. I hope that this blog will give me an outlet for the many emotions, fears, and triumphs that come with this challenge while also providing others with a better understanding of allergies.

I have been encouraged and strengthened by the words of many others who have traveled this road before me and are still going strong in their passion to keep their families safe. Many lives touched by someone with allergies have become advocates and voices working to change laws and regulations to better care for those they love. The words of these people, strangers bound by a single commonality, compel me to share my story in hopes that others will find my journey comforting and inspiring to them.

I don't know why this has happened to MY child. I suppose we live in a broken world where bad things are just a part of life. All I know for sure is that I am determined...determined to become an expert in this area so I can help provide the very best care and support for my child. I choose to take this situation and bring out something great. I don't know for sure what the future holds, but I hope that my experiences and new knowledge will compel me to help others and make a positive impact on those around me.

Join me on this journey from the very start...from our very first days with food allergies. I know there is a chance my child could "outgrow" his allergies, but that chance is small. I will live with the mindset of a long road traveler. This is my life, and I will take charge of my circumstances. I will rise to the occasion!
