louise on the left (coast)

The year, 1998.    My daughter is one year's old.    I'm a first time mom of 37 with a bad case of laryngitis on the day of this segment. I was still reeling from having nearly lost my child to a danger I never realized existed until my child walked into the kitchen, pointed to her mouth, her eyes rolled back in her head, she fell to the floor and stopped breathing. This video is about the day (one of them) everything changed.

Thank you Asami Photography for shooting me for Zooey Magazine . I am beyond excited to have my story featured in the next edition of Zooey about having a child with a life-threatening allergy to peanuts . Juliet and I had an amazing shoot today at our very humble abode from under, as you can see here, very blue skies.
