I honestly was so anxious in the lead up to the hospital admission. I had prepared myself for the worst, not because I am a pessimist, but because I don’t think I could have handled the disappointment if I had let myself believe she would not be allergic anymore. Realistically, I knew that if she didn’t pass it this time, there was still plenty of time for her to be able to grow out of it and I had resigned myself to the idea that she would still be allergic.

The journey of writing a book about food allergies has been very therapeutic for me also and talking about these experiences helps my mental wellness and ability to process the stresses that I've encountered. I've thoroughly enjoyed the process and already have my second book drafted in my notes!
