| Gabriel and I and his 'don't feed me' sticker |
We took a day trip to San Francisco this weekend. I was excited to see how well Gabriel did, but I must admit, it took a bit of planning. Our day trip started out late. Because eating out isn't an option for Gabriel, we typically take our trips between meals. We walked through the city as I juggled everything we needed to keep Gabriel on track for the day. We brought Gabriel's medicine backpack- that goes everywhere with us. It includes a fully charged battery operated nebulizer (that also has an adapter to work in a car lighter outlet), benedryl, anti-itch creams, inhalers, epi-pens, the pasty concocktion the doctors instruct us to mix if he esophagus begins to swell, tummy medicine, germ wipes to keep from touching someone else's leftover food, ICE cards, allergy lists, and a set of his 'don't feed me stickers'. In my other arm, I was toting around a bag of Gabriel friendly snacks, since we can't buy any when we are out. We had lots of apple juice, and rice cakes.
