I have failed. At everything I wanted to be good at, I've failed. It's my fault, I'm lazy and unforgiving, always trying to take the easy way. My 1 year old daughter will not eat. She refuses. I try everything, even begging, but nothing. ummmmm-ummmmmmm. On top of this we just found out she has an egg and peanut allergy. Great. As if she wasn't already different enough with having a heart transplant now she can't even have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Ever. She also has a slight milk and soybean allergy. Jeeze. What the hell did I breast feed for? They said breastfeeding would reduce her chances of food allergies. Not here. They said it would help her immune system to be nice and strong. Nope. Okay it must be me. I'm a failure.

Wow...it's a miracle she's even here..bravo to you! keep your chin up and count your lucky stars every day...oh and screw that old, yucky, pb&j ;)
Thanks Candace,
I have since been a little more upbeat about all the craziness that goes along with Olivia's lack of appetite. Yes I still want to pull my hair out at times, but have realized that the medicines she takes probably make her belly hurt and therefore make her want to deny any food that passes her way. Thanks for the support!
