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.

Two Years Ago

We will be heading up to work the fire departments turkey bingo very soon and it's this day that once again, is bringing me back to day one of our FPIES journey. Sadly, not much has changed and we've actually gone backwards from where we were a year ago but Kara has been happy today, absolutely full of spunk and energy and is looking better than she has in months lately! We have learned so much and continue to learn more with each day about what is going on with her body. Sometimes its one day at a time but thankfully, she is thriving.

Please read last years post to see the first reaction and where we were at both one and two years ago. Today is bittersweet.

    Hi Kendall~Just checking on you and Kara. It's hard to look back our journey's and to see how our lives have changed. Thankful that Kara is happy and that though they may not be answers you want, you are starting to get answers. Take care of you!
