...another Garden BBQ party - summertime has arrived in Portland, Oregon. My good friend and her husband hac us over for dinner tonight. She was one of the first people who had held Alena when she was not even quite a day old. At the time - so seems in retrospect - She had a gut Feeling that something was not OK. My friend has many nieces and nephews. I clearly remember her telling us how she had never seen a baby eat so little. Which was true, Alena did not want to eat, and spat up most of it. It was almost like my friend had a gut feeling that something was not right, and Alena "knew" that the formula could kill her...Aye, so how did I get from talking about our dinner to this story?! Oh yes, right - so my friend knows about Galactosemia and the foods they can eat. Needless to say, the entire dinner was safe for the girls. Veggie chips, cucumbers, carrots, a delicious vegan lentil dip, and pita chips as a snack. Amazing BBQ chicken, potato salad, and a green salad with blueberries for dinner. And yes, there was also one dio the girls could not eat but that was no big deal for them...
Anyways, it was an amazing delicious fun evening spent outside with great friends :)
