July is FOD Awareness Month!

Welcome to July, which is FOD Awareness Month! Can you believe it's already July? I know I can't!

About Our MCADD Journey

We didn't know much about newborn screening and we knew even less about metabolic disorders until our youngest son, "LB", was diagnosed with MCADD when he was three days old. We have a wonderful pediatrician and incredible metabolic specialists at the Colorado Children's Hospital who have educated us about his condition and taught us how to keep him safe. Keeping track of LB's food intake has become a natural part of our daily routine, but he is otherwise a completely normal and happy kid.

I started this blog to reassure other Moms (and Dads and Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, Neighbors, etc.) that MCADD isn't as scary as it may seem at first and to provide some insight into this condition as we learn more about it over the course of our son's life.
