Stormy Weather.....

Well we had a few days now of cold rainy spring season- that has prompted a nice asthma attack and we ended up in the hospital ER this afternoon. Then off to the Pharmacy for another round of steroids to get her through this bout of asthma distress.

Opening Night at the Kernels

Another HUGE Thank you to the Cedar Rapids Kernels for another wonderful Allergy Free Night at the Ball Park. It was a cold spring game and the good guys ended up not winning, but fun has had by all- there will be another Allergy Free Night in June- more to come.

Allergies, Asthma, and Eczema

We are a Midwest family of 5 Sean & Laurie and our 3 kids. Matt (17) is our oldest, then Lynda (6) and Callie (4). Our subject is based around our kids. All three of our children have food, antibiotics, and environmental allergies.

Matt is allergic to food: soy, antibiotics: Bactrim, Ceclor and Sulpha, environmental: dust, pollen, mold, animal dander.

Lynda has multiple food allergies, antibiotics: Bactrim, Ceftin, Furadantin, environmental: dust, pollen, mold, and animal dander. Lynda also has eczema and asthma.

Callie is allergic to antibiotics: Bactrim, environmental: pollen and dust

We believe knowledge is power and want to make sure this very misunderstood condition has the voice it needs. Far too many children, parents, caregivers etc. suffer with this quiet affliction that continues to grow in numbers day by day.
