Yesterday was a fantastic day for the children of Nevada! SB453 Epinephrine in Nevada Schools was signed into law by Governor Sandoval! Wahoooo!
Yup, it’s law now!
I am writing this blog post on Monday night and I’m completely and utterly overwhelmed with gratitude for Senator Debbie Smith, who championed this bill and drove it forward from our first meeting last year in April. She never wavered and kept her commitment to the children of Nevada. I am in awe of Michael Hackett, the Reno lobbyist who stepped forward and volunteered his time since he felt this was the right thing to do for our children. My heart still cries for the children who we lost over the last two years to allergic reactions and I hope they watching from heaven and seeing that their legacy is saving other children. Today, indeed was a good day.
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
Congratulations.
Congrats!
Brenda, Thank you, this is incredibly exciting and charter schools are included too!
Thanks Henry! We are quite excited, now maybe I can finish up my fabulous blog piece about the Great Oz coming out from behind his curtain? I simply adore that Oz!
You are a magnificent woman, Caroline.
I think you should be president of the US so that the government would finally get something done!
Brava!
Cheryl, funny story: Leila sends a message to Senator Smith yesterday telling her about how much she “liked doing this process” with her and she can’t wait until our job! Leila is ready to rock and roll! Mom enjoyed Proseco yesterday!
This is wonderful news! What an amazing job. You deserve credit for your participation in this and for making us, your readers, more informed.
Thanks Kathryn,
We are all thrilled and I am so happy that I have this blog so I can share!
Congratulations on this wonderful achievement! You have done life-saving work and everyone should be very proud!
