This is Emillia's story as seen through our eyes...... Emillia was diagnosed with FPIES right before christmas of 2009 she was almost 10 months old. We have had our challenges, our ups and downs, numerous tears, and even some laughs through our experiences.
We have met some amazing people during these trialing times and we are very thankful for them and all that they have done for us!
Emillia is a very sweet vibrant little girl as you will learn reading through this blog. She is a trooper and always seems to have a smile on her face through even some of the hardest times.
Emillia has taught us many lessons in life already and i know she will continue to do so, she is our princess!

Emillia:
God grant us
the serenity to accept
the things we cannot change..........

PKU re-test and our "BIG girl"

We had Emillia re-tested for PKU recently (which came back negative!) anyway, the two nurses who were taking her blood sample that day were having a hard time keeping her blood from clotting too fast, they had pricked her little finger and were applying a ton of pressure to her poor little finger to get what they needed for the test. It took probably a good 10 minutes to get all that they needed and Emmy is beyond mad at this point and was bawling, (i don't blame her........) As Emmy is crying one of the nurses tries to console her and says " it's ok baby girl, don't cry" and Emmy automatically stops crying, looks staright at the nurse and says in such a matter of fact voice " I not  baby, I  BIG girl!" The nurse looked at her not sure what to say but we couldn't all help but laugh at this. The nurses referred to M that day as "Shirley Temple" with her crazy curly strawberry blond hair, and, i swear they gave her an entire roll of stickers..... every time she'd say and sign "PUH-LEEZE?!" they'd just hand her another one. She was covered in stickers by the time we got home. That was the day that i realized that she wasn't "our baby" any more (she always will be, just don't tell her!!!) but that she IS growing to be such a BIG strong girl!!!!
