If those people took the time to understand the illness then it would never even raise an eyebrow. Personally we haven't had that problem yet due to Sophs unusual eating habits or lack there of, but alas, she is beginning to eat slowly so the time will come. Even though she is PS, we still need to pack in the calories too. Most infections chip at the weight.<br /><br />You are one of the most sensible and level headed mamas I have come across, it's a shame everyone cant see that.<br /><br />Lovely picture btw.<br />xGemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957950095913776584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497100330885051839.post-80962805902639703532010-11-09T12:20:33.769-06:002010-11-09T12:20:33.769-06:00Gloria, yu bring up an excellent point.

I forgot to mention that before him, we didn't have mayonnaise or bacon or Nutella in our house. French fries were a once in a blue moon proposition, or slices of potato baked in our oven. It was difficult, and a little funny to me, to change that. Buying bacon for the first time in years felt like some sort of rebellion. And now we have to help Em understand that her brother HAS to eat that way to stay healthy, but if we do, the effect is quite the opposite.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628768674387293285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497100330885051839.post-83949423079845496112010-11-09T11:58:26.488-06:002010-11-09T11:58:26.488-06:00Three cheers!

To parents who do their research and are relentless in the pursuit of health and happiness for their children.<br /><br />We're at the opposite end of a food war, and despite having doctors and clinical evidence on our side, it's tough to garner support, especially from family, when it's something they haven't dealt with before. When they see that my much smaller than average 9-year-old isn't allowed to eat cake or mayo or bacon or ice cream or cheese or anything from a fast food drive-thru window, they somehow feel she's being denied "childhood," when really her childhood is getting better all the time, and if we get this right while she's a kid, her adulthood will extend past the age of 40.<br /><br />Bug off is exactly the right attitude to have.glorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497100330885051839.post-74708907731499060862010-11-09T00:56:26.034-06:002010-11-09T00:56:26.034-06:00I love the updates on him Amos, makes me feel much...I love the updates on him Amos, makes me feel much closer mentally then I can be physically.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802159439359569926noreply@blogger.com
