AllergyKids.com on Good Morning America
DiseaseProof's buddy Robyn O’Brien, founder of AllergyKids.com, was recently featured on Good Morning America. Take a look:
And from the GMA report:
Rock on Robyn, rock on!
“I had made scrambled eggs and put them in front of all four kids and decided to put them in front of the baby," the 36-year-old said. "I put them on her highchair and she didn't want them, fussed and pushed them away. And I didn't think anything of it."No doubt, Robyn’s a DiseaseProof celebrity. Check out these posts:
But 9-month-old Tory's aversion to the breakfast staple had little to do with taste, as O'Brien soon found out.
"I put her down for a nap. A few minutes later and there was some mother instinct in me because I went in to check on her for some reason, which I rarely do, and her face was swollen shut," O'Brien said.
A life-threatening reaction to eggs caused grotesque swelling of the infant's face and instantly shook O'Brien to her core. She said her daughter's severe response prompted her to take a closer look at what she was feeding all of her children and to educate herself on food allergies.
Rock on Robyn, rock on!
I think Robyn is really wonderful. When I found out I had food allergies last year, I came across her story and her site and I just think she's doing wonderful things!
