This weekend, we went to a PKU Family Picnic organised by Birmingham Children's Hospital. We all had a fantastic time there. There were low protein burgers, hot dogs, curries, served and a table full of cakes and drinks. All PKU friendly. Keir couldn't believe his eyes, when he found out that he could eat anything … Continue reading PKU Family Picnic
I hear from lots of parents with children with PKU, one of the hardest thing that they have to deal with is when their children refuse their supplement. This has happened to us too and it was very stressfull. I wanted to talk about our experince so hopefully it will help others. Keir, around age … Continue reading Refusing PKU Supplement

I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that Keir chose a fabric for me to make him a rucksack. I have finished it!
I always keep a couple of Low Protein Cake Mixes in the cupboard so I can whip up some cupcakes quickly for Keir if I need to. In the past I tried, Loprofin and Fate Cake Mixes.
