Yesterday we walked. The day was perfect except maybe a little windy. Oh and the fact that I have the flu.
The walk took place at Progressive Field. There was a table loaded with Enjoy Life Snacks (which are completely safe for the Little Man), Dey Pharmaceuticals, the makers of the Epi Pen, had a table set up with Epi Jr. trainers, hats, and back packs. There was also a table where the Little Man could write his name and all of his allergies on a foot print and add it to a poster.
The Little Man was so happy to be at a place that was all about his food allergies. He loved that he could go to the Enjoy Life Snack table and eat whatever he wanted. I think he ate 10 packs of cookies! He also met a big group of boys and they had a pick up foot ball game while we waited for the actual walk to start. I think it was nice for him to see other kids with food allergies. One poor girl has 18 different food allergies including processed sugar. Her breakfast was potatoes and spinach. We reminded the Little Man that he only has 6 and that EVERYONE has something that they have to deal with. We (He) need to remember that we need to be thankful that we CAN deal with them.
The walk itself was awesome! We walked around the actual field at Progressive Field. It's amazing to actually be ON the field. This was my third time of being on the field and I don't think I could ever tire of it. We also walked around the outside of P Field and then back down to the actual field. It was a really nice day and I think the Little Man felt really supported. Thank you to all of you who donated! We appreciate the support more than you'll ever know(thank you cards will be arriving soon).
Now, about the flu. It started Saturday as sneezing, but on Sunday I woke up feeling really poorly. I ended up having a fever, aching terribly, was stuffed up, and queezy. Luckily I didn't actually hurl on Progressive Field but almost.... The guys promised that if I passed out they would drag my carcass off the field and not leave me behind. I'm glad I made it and was able to support my son . I tried to stay away from the other people so I didn't pass this nastiness around.
I have a bunch of pictures and I'll post them when I'm feeling better.

We're so excited to be doing our FAAN walk in another couple of weeks. I think my son will love it. I wish it wasn't right when he usually naps, but I don't want to miss it, so we'll just let him skip the nap. A no-nap day and a table full of Enjoy Life snacks sounds like heaven for him! Thanks for the reminder to pick up my fundraising efforts.
Glad that you had a nice time, despite feeling like you were on death's door.
I'm so glad that Little Man had such a great time!
