Anaphylaxis in the Community, Edmonton

I had the opportunity to attend the Anaphylaxis Canada Conference in Edmonton, Alberta! It was a great Conference, with many diverse speakers, resources and exhibitors to checkout. On behalf of Blue Bear Aware, I want to Thank all the delegates who dropped by our exhibit to share their stories and view our product. Being an on-line store, that component of our business we truly miss- chatting with our customers. This was also my first visit to Edmonton, so I had an opportunity to tour the city on Sunday. It is beautiful town and I loved the river meandering though the city, I just couldn't get over the flatness! (Being a West Coast gal!)
Thanks again to all the families that visited Blue Bear Aware this week-end.

Yet, with Aiden we have seen vomiting almost every single time. He is also one of those few have had biphasic reactions even as late as a day and half later. (

Store Closing We've heard that before... On December 31, 2018, the storefront for bluebearaware.com will be shut down. As the owner of this amazing online retailer, I can assure you that this is a genuine closing. Further, I do not have any intention of selling the business. On the contrary, I plan to keep Blue Bear alive. YES! We'll still be here. Just not selling products for the foreseeable future. What can you expect to see in the future? I love bringing smiles to people's faces. I love knowing that I have made someone feel important. To let them know that I see them and they matter. I have a big a-s, bleeding heart. I know it. I own it. I want to save the world, one person at a time. I've been a crisis counselor. I've worked with the women's shelter. In our food allergic community, I started as a support group leader. To say that those experiences were rewarding is absolutely an understatement, but my life has changed since then. I have so
