I Want To Hear From You!!

When I started this blog, I never wanted it to only be about our family's experience. I know we can all learn so much from each other. Each one of us has a story to tell and there is a lesson in all of them.

If you would like to share your PA story on "Peanut Allergy Kid," I want to hear from you!! If there is interest, I would like to devote a day a week to your stories on the blog for the next several weeks. I know many of you will want to share the story of how you were reluctantly initiated into the peanut allergy club (i.e. your child's first reaction).

Other topics could include:

*Lessons learned that you hope no one ever has to repeat.
*Fears that you have as a parent of a PA Kid.
*Positive things with your child, your family, etc. that the allergy has brought.
*An older PA kid might want to write a paragraph or so on their own experience.

Whatever you want to share with other PA parents, here is your platform. This will give you an opportunity to write it down and possibly direct family and friends to the site that might not have heard your entire story before. In addition, when they visit the site, they might be inspired to learn more about this life-threatening allergy. Isn't that what we all want for those who are in our children's lives?

You can be named anonymously as "a reader" or I can give your first name. If you have a blog, I will be happy to link to it, as well. You can also provide a picture of your PA kid , if you want. If writing isn't your favorite thing, write it and I will help you polish it up. This is about your PA kid and the impact this allergy has had on you and your family.

Please limit the posts to 650 words and e-mail them to peanutallergykid AT gmail DOT com. Please indicate that your e-mail is for a posting on the site.

I look forward to hearing from you!!
