Kara was diagnosed with food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in August of 2010. She has had many FPIES reactions and complications that have lead to numerous hospitalizations and specialist appointments. It was a huge sigh of relief to finally have some answers and a diagnosis, however we have to remind ourselves daily that this is a very serious disease and this is only the beginning of the long road we have in front of us.

Vacation!

We got home last night from a week long vacation with the girls, to Arizona for a visit with my Grandparents. I have lots to say about our adventures and not a lot of time (or energy!) so for now, I just wanted to say that WE DID IT! We made it a week on vacation with no major food-related issues. Except for the Kara barfing in the carseat on the side of the highway, in the dark, ten degree weather incident. This, fortunately, was not an FPIES reaction, but certainly the icing on the cake of our long day of traveling. =)
