A Rare Kind Of Day

February 28th is Rare Disease Day. This can be for any rare disease. We know Kwashi is rare. She is our special girl that we love with all our heart.

Hopefully, next month will bring us more answers as to what is going on with her little gi tract. We are confident in saying she does have a form of FPIES (Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome). Her Feeding Team supports this, her allergist said she was on the "spectrum" and we have consulted a specialist in Columbus, Ohio who was certain she had a variant. Plus, the wonderful moms and dads in my FPIES support group have shared some much information. It has been eye opening.

I know everyone these days has a cause they want you to support. But today is for the "rare" ones. So wear some comfy jeans. You can still look professional. I know because her daddy came down sporting a pair. Guess he will be a bit more casual rounding today.
