Dear Younger Me,
I see you. You feel alone and unprepared right now. Your helpless, precious child has been diagnosed with a severe food allergy and you’re now living with food allergies. You’ve already seen the power this disease has when your sweet child became swollen beyond recognition with hives, redness, and itchiness. You’re told it could have been much worse and you’re thankful but fearful of the next time.
Your mama bear instincts are in overdrive.
You don’t know exactly why your baby has food allergies, just that it’s more real and scary than you ever imagined.
The doctor says to keep your LO away from one of your FAVORITE foods, yet you have NO idea exactly how to do this and feel resentful that you have to. After hours of searching the internet, it gives you a small amount of hope, but nothing compares to the injustice you feel right now. You have so many questions.
Well younger me, I’m hoping to put your mind at ease… This isn’t just for when you’re newly diagnosed, but also in the first 5-7 years afterwards too.
Here’s my loving advice for my younger self, and for you too.
I'm cheering for you,
Corinna
