Spring break is over for us, the kids went back to school today. I am grateful for a little bit of quiet time, but I am now back to the "please don't let the phone ring during school hours" mode. Hate that. It was so relaxing while they were home, we did nothing and it was great.
This week is World allergy week. Here is more information in case you are interested.

In other news. Another sweet child was lost this week to food allergies. This one has hit too close to home. The child was in the area that I grew up in and he passed in the hospital where my oldest was born. Something has to be done. We have to raise more awareness, we have to educate those in the allergic and nonallergic community on how to take care of those that have life threatening food allergies, we have to find the cause and the cure. This has to end.

Every food allergy death leaves me with an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach.
ReplyDeleteIt has to end.
I also fear school calling. Betwen my son with developmental issues and my food allergic kid I am always fearing bad news.
I feel awful for the family. Breaks my heart.
ReplyDeleteEvery time the phone rings I age ten years. I should be about 97 by now.
