Caring for an FPIES baby is hell. Having 2 healthy babies previously, I never understood what parents of sick kids face. #fpies #staystrong

Today's #fpies challenge... 'sample' collection of both varieties! At least it mixes up the feeding issues for a spot of fun! #staystrong

One of the best things about having an #fpies child is that you don't need to worry about variety in their diet. Lamb & oats or lamb & oats

#FPIES parents you are an amazingly creative and strong breed. The way you have to approach nourishment for your child is worthy of awards.

When your child has a rare condition like #fpies there is no simple treatment protocol. Being lab rat today... is it all FPIES or...?

We often approach disadvantaged communities with a deficit view. We should look at what they DO have & build programs around that. #ISMC2014

Just saw the bodies of children in the morgue of the main hospital which is so full that they are piling up on the floor. Doesn't get worse

@sarahbessey You articulate exactly what my yesterday was. Humbling, freeing and real. Probably what all preaching should be.

I never thought that at 13 months of age I would be teaching my child to roll over and also use her legs. #FPIES you really are a crazy one.

You know you are an #fpies parent when you casually just cook up lamb cutlets and potatoes for your baby's breakfast. #madeofmoney
