Wyatt has a severe peanut allergy

He will never know the pure goodness of a pb&j sandwich. We have to carry an EpiPen on us at all times. Food allergies are so scary!

Oh, that is scary.  I hate for him (and you b/c you have to worry about this).

Yes, food allergies are scary.  My niece has a severe peanut allergy, too.  I hope you never have to use the epi-pen.

I'm sorry! Colin is also allergic to peanuts (and tree nuts and wheat) and it is a pain and very scary at first. It's much less scary once you've stocked your house with food he can eat and started to learn about 'safe' restaurants, etc. If you have any questions please let me know!

Thank you. If I have any questions I'll definitely page or PM you.

i am sorry.  As a teacher, I know how many kids have food allergies and how scary it is.  The good thing is there is LOTS of info and support out there for parents of kids with food allergies.  

The more proactive you are, the better.  Good Luck!

all of this! My niece has peanut/tree nut/shell fish allergies. It was terrifying for all of us at first, but is much much easier now. :-)
