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.

Bluebearaware.com Store is closing

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 ...

The Food Allergy Mom's New 'All Nighter'

It is now just before midnight on a Saturday night and I am wide awake. I'd like to say that I'm channeling my more lighthearted side before children and partying the night away. But I'm not. No. Instead I am about to embark on another all nighter to monitor my son, Aiden. Tonight he went for a walk with his Nana (grandma) and his sister and no sooner reached the entrance to the park when he mysteriously tossed his cookies. The way you hear Nana describe it, he emptied his insides out to the point where she almost caught the cookie tossing bug. He's six years old so you may be thinking 'So What. Kids barf all the time.' Yep. However, in Aiden's case, throwing up is often the first thing he does when having a reaction to food. Experts tell us that reactions can vary every time and I do believe them. 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. ( ...
