I also experienced it myself. The BAD Allergist. Now, I'm not here to bash Allergists with all professions - there are the great, good, bad and horrible. </div><div><br /></div><div>Lucas started with eczema within hours of being born. Took us 6 months to figure out he had food allergies. My mom gave him a little ice cream and he broke out in hives around his mouth. We just happened to have our 6 month appt at the pediatrician the next day. I took pictures to document the hives and the reaction to show the doctor (Always take pictures!!!!). Our pediatrician said we needed to see an Allergist, obviously, my mind was already there before we even stepped foot in the office. He gave me a recommendation for a 'great' Allergist, a doctor that used to work at that Pediatrician's office but then found his calling for being an Allergist and started his own practice. So, I took his card on the way out and immediately called to schedule an appointment. We got in a few days later. Between the Pediatrician appointment and the Allergist's appointment, it gave me some time to talk to people. I heard that if you have one allergy, it's likely you may have more, my research confirmed that. I also did some research on the skin tests and had a rough game plan in my head.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was appointment day. We go to the Allergist, yes, he was noted to be a pediatric Allergist. The nurse was horrible. Now, I'm not any way "that mom" who's is overly over the top with being dramatic or they gotta be super-extra-soooooooo-careful. The nurses bedside manor was lacking and if I'm feeling it, then we have a problem here. The Allergist came in, we went over the dairy reaction, explained everything and how I was breastfeeding. He said he was only going to test for dairy and nothing else since dairy was the only thing he reacted to. I requested a Top 8 panel to be tested and he refused, said to just feed him foods and see if he reacts. ** Our current Allergist, won't skin test for everything either but more on that shortly. I said he's not really eating food yet, he's getting what I'm ingesting and it's going to be hard to figure out reactions. In fact, I haven't given him any table food yet. The ice cream was a one off and he reacted to it. You can't tell a new mom with a NEW proven diagnosis of food allergies to "just do" anything when it comes to food. I was just appalled between the nurse and him. The skin test came, she jabbed it in, he's crying. Then he hands us a prescription for Epi-Pens and sends us on our way. </div><div><br /></div><div>I left that appointment so frustrated and scared to eat anything. I immediately, texted my neighbor. Her son has food allergies. She gave me her Allergist's info and they love him. I called that office, the receptionist was amazing, so nice! They had a last minute cancelation two days later. I jumped on it. </div><div><br /></div><div>We walked into that office and the atmosphere was just better. I could feel it. The Allergist came into the room, immediately started to play games with Lucas. Lucas was laughing and giggling. He gained Lucas' trust and got on his level before he did anything. The nurse, equally was just a great! I spoke to the Allergist about our previous Allergist appointment. He said, he will definitely do a Top 8 panel, I was so relieved but other foods, we will have try and see if he reacts. There can be false positives with any test. I nodded my head in agreement. His panel came back positive for Dairy, Egg, mildly for Soy and Peanut. So I needed to cut that all out of my diet if I was going to continue to breastfeed. I wanted to call up the other Allergist and go off on him but I didn't. I'm happy we got a second opinion!!!!! The nurse came in, did the skin test. She was gentle, explained everything as she was doing it. Lucas didn't even cry. Not one tear! After the results, she rubbed on some hydrocortisone cream to this back to relieve the itching and reactions. The first office didn't do this. I just knew, this was going to be our Allergist! </div><div><br /></div><div>We Challenged Soy and Peanut before he was 11 months old because his reaction was mild. He can eat them no problem. He can have baked egg now- that was around 2 years old. We tried cooked egg a year later and he went into Anaphylaxis at the office, so we went back to baked egg. He grew out of dairy, as well, around 2 years old. But since then, he's now allergic to Tree Nuts and Peas. </div><div><br /></div><div>The moral of the story is. Go with your gut. A second opinion NEVER hurts! ALWAYS ask for referrals from friends and family, they know how the offices work and have had first hand experiences. I made the rookie mistake of asking a doctor for a referral for another doctor. Of course, they will always refer their friends or previous coworker. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you're local to Southeast PA or don't mind a drive - I HIGHLY recommend <a href="https://www.allergyandasthmawellness.com/" target="_blank">Allergy and Asthma Specialists</a> they have 8 offices in the area. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

With the growing number of children living with food allergies, this is a key tool to have in daycare facilities and preschools to promote awareness and safety, and help kids feel included despite their restrictions. I can't wait to follow Lucas in the future on other journeys with his allergies!</span></div></div><div class="a-row a-spacing-small review-data" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 8px; width: 1120px;"><span class="a-size-base review-text review-text-content" data-hook="review-body" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div><div class="a-row a-spacing-small review-data" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 8px; width: 1120px;"><span class="a-size-base review-text review-text-content" data-hook="review-body" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px;"><div class="a-row" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; width: 1120px;"><a class="a-link-normal" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R12TRHI4NAG6YZ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1645430960" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0066c0; text-decoration-line: none;" title="4.0 out of 5 stars"><i class="a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating" data-hook="review-star-rating" style="background-image: url("https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/sash/McBZv0ZvnbehkIx.png"); background-position: -21px -368px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 400px 900px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: 18px; position: relative; vertical-align: text-top; width: 80px;"><span class="a-icon-alt" style="box-sizing: border-box; clip-path: circle(0px at 50% 50%); display: block; font-size: inherit; height: 18px; left: auto; line-height: normal; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: auto; width: 80px;">4.0 out of 5 stars</span></i></a><span class="a-letter-space" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; width: 0.385em;"></span><a class="a-size-base a-link-normal review-title a-color-base review-title-content a-text-bold" data-hook="review-title" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R12TRHI4NAG6YZ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1645430960" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-weight: 700; line-height: 20px; text-decoration-line: none;"> <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Great book!

The cake, the party. However, for me, being a new food allergy mom, it came with added stress. I breastfed for the first year, I adhered to his food allergies and kept them out of my diet. I was in control. At the time of his first birthday, he was allergic to Dairy and Eggs. My biggest concern was, what was a good alternative for milk? I did lots of research on almond milk, oat milk, other non-dairy milks. I finally found Ripple, a pea protein based milk. It checked all the boxes and was the most identical with vitamins and protein to Whole Milk. It was perfect and I was so happy. Until...</div><div><br /></div><div>Fast forward a few days after his first birthday. It was in the evening (Lesson learned-- Don't try new things in the evenings) I decided to give him a taste of the Ripple Milk. It was literally a fight, he DID NOT want to try it. After much fuss, he finally took the smallest of sips and then refused any more. I didn't push it, he took a sip and I was happy with that. </div><div><br /></div><div>About two hours later, it was bedtime. Probably 8pm. We did our nightly routine and put him to bed. Shortly, thereafter our dog started to bark at his bedroom door. I walked into his room to check on him and he was covered in vomit and had huge hive welts from head to toe but was awake and seemly normal, given his appearance. His ears were swollen, belly button was swollen, had hives the size of quarters around his groin and his body. </div><div><br /></div><div>I immediately called for my husband, he came running upstairs. My first instinct was to call the pediatrician. (Lesson learned-- NEVER call the pediatrician, if you're under the care of an Allergist. Call the ALLERGIST!!). The nurse who was on call, said to give Benadryl, which we did already and that she'd call back every hour until the symptoms started to go away. I asked her, if we should call 911 and give Epi, she said "No" because he wasn't showing signs of shortness of breath. Now I know, ya'll are probably screaming at your computers and cursing my name for listening to this advice. In my defense, I THOUGHT a pediatricians office would be up-to-date on Anaphylaxis...… after the fact, I learned, most aren't. Ours wasn't. This was our first anaphylaxis and everything our Allergist coached us on went out the door. I was in full panic mode and listened to what she told us. He was still acting completely fine, laughing, talking, no shortness of breath, had energy. If anything else developed, I was to give Epi and call 911. About an hour later, the hives went away and he started to look better. Vomiting stopped. I kept him in our bed that night, so I could be close to him and barely slept.</div><div><br /></div><div>The next day he woke up fine, like everything 6 hours later never happened. So, I took him to daycare that morning. Explain to them what happened, so they could keep an extra eye on him. I called the Allergist to give them an update on the event. He immediately said, next time to call them and not the pediatrician. He reviewed the Anaphylaxis Action plan again with me. Giving Epi to me, was so scary, it's something that is very unnerving. He once again said "if in doubt, give Epi and call 911. You will NOT hurt him by giving Epi!"</div><div><br /></div><div>Noon rolled around and I got a call from Daycare. Lucas started to vomit again but not showing any other signs of Anaphylaxis. I immediately left work and called my husband. Then called the Allergist. They said he could be having a Biphasic reaction and to take him to the ER for observation and treatment. We picked him up and drove to our hospital. They took his vitals, all were fine. I explained what happened the night before. They gave him a steroid and kept us for 2 hours for observation. We left the ER with a 5 day course of oral steroids. All was good after that. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was very grateful he only took a sip of the Ripple Milk. I felt bad for forcing him to take a sip after he put up such a fight. I almost think his body knew or he had some sixth sense not to drink it. Not many families get an Anaphylaxis do-over. I thank God every day that he gave Lucas another chance because I failed him that first time. </div><div><br /></div><div>Please please please-- learn the signs and symptoms of Anaphylaxis and a Biphasic reaction. Give Epi and call 911 Immediately, even in doubt. I learned so many lessons that night. Don't make my same mistakes.

<br />
We recently vacationed at Massanutten Resort in Massanutten, Virgina. It was absolutely wonderful! I had a little bit of anxiety because it took multiple emails to finally get a hold of the main chef for the resort and it was a few days before we left, that I actually heard back from him. However, once we did speak, I got a feeling of calm. Don't get me wrong, I still had anxiety about going away. I mapped out the nearest grocery stores, Chik-fil-a's as back ups plus the local hospital.<br />
<br />
I normally don't shop at Walmart but my son's daycare does for their snacks. As much as I dislike the corporation, they actually do put cross-contamination warnings on their brands of food. So that's enough to get me on Team Wally-World. There was a Walmart right in the heart of the town. So, I knew what we couldn't pack at home, we'd stop and get some staples there.<br />
<br />
<b>What food we packed:</b><br />
My son is a little bit of a brand snob. He will only eat Wegman's Chicken nuggets. I've tried another brand, that look exactly the same and he refuses to eat them. Heat up some Wegman's nugs and their gone in a minute. He lives on nugs. In order to have a semi-stress free vacation, we needed to pack those frozen suckers on ice and haul them along.<br />
<br />
I also packed some pouches, some snack size bags of chips, pretzels, allergy friendly cupcakes and juice boxes.<br />
<br />
<b>What items we took along:</b><br />
A few pans, silverware, cooking utensils, his cups and I think that's it. Oh and Clorox wipes!<br />
<br />
<b>Medications:</b><br />
Basically, I took the whole medicine cabinet. Inhaler w/spacer, Epi's, Benadryl, Tylenlol, Sun block, Bug spray and threw it all in a bag.<br />
<br />
Once, we arrived at our condo, complete with our own full size kitchen. (Whenever we go away now, we always get a full size kitchen. Managing food allergies and vacations are hard enough. Get the full size kitchen. It's worth it.) I unpacked the Clorox wipes and got straight to cleaning the kitchen, the cabinet hardware, stove, microwave buttons, fridge handle, counter tops, kitchen table, everything! Then I moved onto the living areas, door knobs, end tables, coffee table. I wiped down my son's room.<br />
<br />
We then hit up the local Walmart and did some food shopping. We didn't want to eat out every meal. So we got some lunch items and got ingredients for two dinners. Paper plates, paper towels. tin foil, plastic cups. Sorry, mother earth, we didn't do you any favors that week.<br />
<br />
We didn't use anything that was provided at the condo. Community dishes, cups, and all that stuff, really turn me off and now, even more so with my son. I could stomach it in vacations past, if we re-washed stuff and ran it through the dishwasher but I was all for enjoying this vacation as much as I could.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Eating away from the condo:</b><br />
The resort was great! Very allergy friendly!!! We ate at Virgina BBQ and Pizza. They had a binder full of what Top 8 allergens were in each item. We stuck to just pulled pork and we took all our meals to go. We ate back at our condo, so my son could have the chips and more sides to choose from there.<br />
<br />
One night we ate off the resort at Capital Ale House. The service was wonderful. We ordered my son a plain burger and baked french fries. That's his favorite meal.<br />
<br />
The other resort restaurant that we ate was Campfire Grille. That place was awesome inside! I told the server of our food allergies and showed him our chef's card (more on that below). The chef actually came out to our table and talked with us. We went over the card, what my son could eat and the chef was more than willing to personally cook his meal. Of course, my son wanted.....a hamburger and baked french fries. However, these were curly fries, so it was love at first bite. Funny thing is, we got curly fries at home after our vacation and he hates them! There is that brand snob again.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The only semi issue with the resort was at the Water Park. They didn't have legit restaurants there. They only had little snack bar areas. So cross-contamination was a high risk. I was never planning on eating there for my son, but if we were, with our allergies, it would've been very hard. The manager at the one snack bar was more than willing to try to work with us, I thanked him for the offers but I declined. It was just too risky. My husband and I got some food there and we got our son a slushy. He was more than happy with that. We ate off our laps because I didn't have my wipes with me to wipe down the tables. Even if the tables are clean, I always wipe them down. We left soon after to go back to the condo for lunch for my son and a much needed nap.<br />
<br />
Sweet Frog was wonderful as well. They left me look at the ingredient list for the vegan fro-yo and left him use the oreos out of the original container to avoid the cross-contamination. Plus the pink color changing spoon was the most amazing, best thing, he ever saw.<br />

<br />
<br />
We don't eat out often with our son. So this vacation was definitely, a lot, outside of my comfort zone. He's at the age where he doesn't want, what I pack. He doesn't get his situation yet. He ate a ton of meals that I didn't prepare that week. It did feel good to feel --- some what--- normal. When your a mom of an allergy kiddo, your control is strong. You control everything. It's hard to take a step back. I get it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Some helpful hints for any restaurant that we go to:</b><br />
We also opt for restaurants to bake the french fries, toss them in some oil. I don't trust fryers unless they are strictly for french fries. Only fryers I trust are Red Robin and Chik-fil-a.<br />
<br />
I always carry a Chef's Card, that I printed off of the Food Allergy Research Education (www.foodallergy.org) It's very helpful when trying to explain your allergies and cross-contamination to servers, managers and chefs. Whenever, we do go out. I always have the server take the card back to the kitchen to show the chef or the manager.<br />
<br />
We always wipe down the table and the chairs before I let my son sit down. Even if it looks clean.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Fun on vacation:</b><br />
It may seem like a daunting task but it can be done. I left him play on playgrounds, I left him touch things. I left him feed animals at a petting zoo. He touched the play equipment at the water park. Was I freaking out inside. Uhhhh yes. Did I let my anxiety show to him? No. I just watched him, like a hawk. We constantly washed hands, if a sink was available I used our hand wipes. I was always on high alert. Outside of our condo, it wasn't very relaxing but vacations are now for the kids.<br />

combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash more of almond or rice milk.

This is such a great speech on food allergies! One I can relate too. However, we had Epi in our house since my son was 6 months old. I can't imagine the fear waiting 30 minutes till EMS showed up.<br />

His also got a law passed. Act 93 of 2018. Please see the illustration below.<br />

Thank You to everyone who donated!! My GoFundMe doesn’t reflect the actual donations. I got the majority through private transactions. I was able to meet my goal. The signs have been printed and are starting to pop up around the township
at the parks. I’m beyond happy with how Amity Township has handled my proposal, how the road master listened to where I wanted them to hang. I’m so happy to be living in such a great area.

I’m also excited to announce that I have had multiple people contact me regarding getting signs hung up in their communities. The ripple effect has been working it’s magic. Two communities in California are getting food allergy signs. Wouldn’t
it be wonderful, if every park had these types of signs??!<o:p></o:p></div>

I have some very exciting news to share with all of you! <o:p>
</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
In the fall, I will be releasing my first book. “Lucas takes his food allergies to Daycare”. It will be a board book written from, what I’d think, would be my son’s point of view. Mixed in with some educational points. Why handwashing is
important, why not sharing food with friends is important and why it’s so important to tell a teacher when you don’t feel good. This book will be geared towards the toddler in a daycare setting but the valuable information inside can be used in other real
world situations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
I’m currently working on other books like “Lucas takes his food allergies to an allergist appointment”, “Lucas takes his food allergies to a friend’s house”. I hope they will be released in Early 2020.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
I want to continue writing books for these real world situations because this is what our allergy kiddos need!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
I know my son absorbs so much information from books. Information, that I feel, I just can’t get him to understand with a conversation. He’s at the point where he knows something is different about him but he doesn’t exactly know what.
I’m absolutely positive, there are other food allergy kiddos in the same boat! I want to help out my son but I also want to help out other families as well.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
If you would’ve told me, a few months ago, I’d be an author….. I would’ve laughed. It’s definitely not something I had ever envisioned for myself. Lucas’ daycare teacher, actually brought it up to me. I took a few books in one day to his
school about food allergies. However, the reading level was still above what I thought, he’d understand. She said “Megan, if anyone can write a children’s book, you can!” and I looked at her and laughed it off. But on my way to work those words stuck with
me. During my 40 minute commute, I already had a title and ¾ of book already written in my head. As funny as it sounds, it just came to me.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
I’m going through the publishing process, picking out illustrators, looking over portfolios, editing with Mascot Books. It’s a fun process but also very stressful. I want this book to be perfect! So there is pressure.

If your child has anaphylaxis food allergies and carries Epinephrine, they may qualify for state funded medical supplemental insurance. Regardless of income! Anaphylaxis Food Allergies fall under The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Coverage can vary from State to State, however.<br />
<br />
We spent so much money within the last 2 years with 2 Emergency room visits, countless allergy specialist appointments and a trip in an ambulance for our son. My husband is a Partner in a small to mid size Accounting firm and so, we have a high deductible family insurance plan. Before we switched over to Auvi-Q auto-injectors, we were shelling out $800 for 2 packs of generic EpiPens (one for daycare and one for us). Auvi-Q has a copay assistance program for those who just have commercial insurance. You'll receive free Auvi-Q's. Yes, Free, through their pharmacy. They ship them to you overnight. However, children that have medical assistance or other state funded programs will not qualify.<br />
<br />
Until last month, I had no idea that my son would be eligible for Medicaid, a State funded, medical insurance plan. Regardless, of our income! As much I hate to view my son as "disabled" he technically is. So we might as well, get some state assistance to help with the thousands of dollars in medical bills we could potentially see each year.<br />
<br />
We applied for medicaid through the <a href="https://www.compass.state.pa.us/COMPASS.Web/Public/CMPHome?preference=desktop&owner=user" target="_blank">https://www.compass.state.pa.us/COMPASS.Web/Public/CMPHome?preference=desktop&owner=user</a><br />
<br />
You'll have to check out your own states website. I'm not sure if they're all the same. I was able to find the application online, print out the gazillion pages and then spent a few days filling it out. It's not easy but it's well worth it! You have to show proof of income, even though it's regardless of income. Then it takes a few weeks to get approval but they may be able to back date the start date of the insurance by 2-3 months.<div>
<br />
So, once you get approved for Medicaid. You'll receive a Medicaid card in the mail. You'll have to pick your Insurance provider for the program as well, there are a few different providers. You'll want to choose the provider who covers your child's Primary Care Physician or Pediatrician, Any specialists they may see, Urgent Cares and hospitals. We had 5 providers to choose from but by the time you factor in all the medical providers, only 1, passed the test.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: red;">Pennsylvania will APPROVE everyone right from the start and you'll have to pick your plans and medical cards will be sent out! HOWEVER</span> a few months later, we received a letter saying our coverage was denied. It will be a letter from a medical review team. You'll have to submit letters and proof from your allergist of diagnosis, ER visits, Allergist visits etc. I didn't have many problems getting approved but I know a few people who have to really fight with the review team. <u><i>Under the ADA, Americans who have life altering conditions are considered disabled. Food allergies are life altering, thus considered a disability.</i></u> I noted that in my email to the review team. <br />
<br />
Normally, how Medicaid plans work in Pennsylvania are, they will pick up whatever your Primary insurance doesn't cover. Hospital visits, Ambulances, etc. Prescriptions will have low copay of a few dollars. As long as you stay with the in-network providers for your insurance policy.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps you, as much as it helped us! If you have any questions, concerns or problems. Please reach out to me!!!! <br />

<br />
So my food allergy signs PASSED the governing board. They will be hung up by late Spring, beginning of Summer. YAY!!!! I'm so relieved. If there is one thing about me, if I set my mind to something, I.cannot.fail!<br />
<br />
So let me go back, to my last meeting.<br />
<br />
I had to attend the Township's Governing Board meeting. That was the final meeting. The make it or break it moment. It was a new set of Board members from the Parks and Recs Board. So I used my first presentation, just went over the key points from that and then added the new information.<br />
<br />
At my first meeting, I didn't have costs or placements of the signs. So I made sure to go over that information, now that I had it. I reminded them that, this wouldn't be coming out of the tax payer dollars. It would totally, 100%, be privately funded.<br />
<br />
They were all really receptive about it. There was lots of smiles, nodding in agreement and great feedback from the other members of the community. It was a packed house! It made me proud that I had so much support from everyone there, including my neighbors, who have been great with being supportive and coming to the meetings with me. There will also be a write up about it in our township newsletter.<br />
<br />
So the next steps will be:<br />
<br />
-The wording of the signs need the final ok by the township's lawyer, once that comes back then they will be off to production!<br />
<br />
-Then I will go out with the Road Master and hang the signs or show him where the hang the signs.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I hope by sharing this journey with all of you, that you will reach out to your townships and get food allergy signs hung up. I can be with you every step of the way. Just email me or drop me a DM on Instagram @the_alherrgy_mom I have complete faith in you, that you too, can achieve this!<br />
