Since everyone else is asking questions, I had a question for Lisa too. I was wondering what type of PA awareness sessions you do? Are they for a school? Church group? A booth in a shopping mall? I was also curious about the answer to Rachel's question as I could not find it in this thread.
Maybe you can post your PA awareness presentation on-line too as it would be interesting to read what is being presented.
Miriam - that is a good recommendation. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]

I believe you misunderstood that statement. I sincerely would like to know what you believe Peg is doing that shows neglect, because everything she is doing are things I am doing. So, I would like to know what I am doing that would be considered, according to you, neglectful. I, again, cannot find one statement that Peg made in those post that would prompt you to consider her neglectful. I would love for you to point them out to me so I can see where you are coming from.

Rae and all,
I deleted my original "college bound" post. I did not like to see Lisa using my name or my son's name in her posts. I asked her to stop via personal email and she did not.
I believe what Lisa objected to was my use of the word "I" instead of "MY SON" or "WE."
I also believe Lisa does not know what it is like for a senior in a college prep school getting ready for college. My son is working 24/7 to become a writer. He loves to learn. He is "up to here" with school work, college applications and standardized testing. That is the way it is here in L.A. Everything is very competitive and my son has risen to the challenge.
He will have his fun in college but first he has to get there safely right?
I believe Lisa took it upon herself to ASSUME I was doing everything for my son in regards to his PA safety in college.
Well, guess what? I was and I still will. I'll make the appointments and HE will keep the appointments. He knows exactly what to ask and exactly what he needs to live safely in college. I am there for support, love, and another reference in case a question is asked he cannot answer.
As I said before. When he goes off to college I will not be tossing his suitcase and epi pens out on the lawn and waving goodbye from the window. I will be there with him and when I leave to go home I'll be there with him in spirit.
I've been there every single day since he was conceived. This is not my time to stop.

And I'll bet, Peggy, that you a rewarded with a beautiful relationship with your son! Something that you both will treasure for years to come, and something that others will look on with envy. Bravo to you. I like your style!

Thanks for letting me know, I don't think there was any danger in her referring back to it in order to answer my questions.
I hope I (I'm sorry, but I guess I'm a little loose on my pronoun usage) can be as successful as it seems you have been in raising an aware son. I have two PA dd's, it has really just begun to become harder to monitor them. If you have any advice, I started a "4-H Camp" thread. I would love to hear if your son had any camp experiences you can share.

Who here thinks Lisa should start her own support group?? Ya know for the people who want to learn?! Sheesh! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img]

I'm thinking it was because she didn't want to partake in such juvenile behaviour but like the rest of us you can only sit back for so long. I suppose it's a human flaw--you have them also you know!? [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/rolleyes.gif[/img]

We have never been to a PA awareness session before and we can't even imagine the type of tips we could learn regarding labels, grocery shopping, etc.

Lisa-If you bothered to even read any posts but your own, you would know exactly why Peg deleted her posts. She flat out said why. Not a big question mark there...But come to think about it, you probably don't even read over your own before posting or you would have to be way too embarrassed to post some of the ignorance you have signed your 'name' to.
I take it you are not ready to be a productive member of *this* society, yet?
Still asking questions, but not stepping up to answer ours? Didn't your momma teach you how to behave responsibly in the real world? Or is that technique something you hold the patent on?
Then again...like you will ever read this all the way through...
