I think you can - if you click on his photo, in the upper right side, it says "edit" beside the photo. But to expedite things, I went in and deleted his name. If you want to edit it again, you can just do it.
Lovely pictures, indeed! Noticed some people have uploaded what appear to be family albums, though. Should we limit our pictures to one or two per child? Not sure if people viewing the slide show might end up thinking that this is only about one or two families. Any thoughts?
I would say we should limit the number of photos per child to 2 or 3. If you have more than one child, of course, you can enter one or more for each child.
I thought I wasn't posting pictures right because they weren't showing up, but then I checked again and I had all sorts of duplicates! I couldn't figure out how to delete them, but it looks like you already deleted them for me, so thank you!
Hi Sooz, Uploading photos is a little tricky the first time. First you upload it and then you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click submit on the submit button.
We also had some that didn't get tagged for the Faces clip set (mine included ). I just went through all the pics we've received so far and got the non-tagged ones tagged for inclusion.
Is there a way to watch this as a stream of pictures? I can't seem to find a way to set it up like that so I can view all at once, like a slideshow. Thanks!
Yes! You scan view as a slideshow. click on the link that says, "view as a slideshow"above the first row of photos on the top of this page (it's right above the last photo in the top row.). Enjoy!
I am so happy to be a part of this especially at this time. My 16 year old son has severe food and environmental allergies, severe asthma, and EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS. He gets between 26-39 allergy injections a month with 2 Xolair injections, and is on a major diet restriction. He goes back to Children's Hospital on Tuesday for more biopsies for the EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS.
His food allergies that we know of are blueberry, celery, cherry, eggplant, grape, oat, peach, plum, potato, pumpkin, radish, rice, rye, tomato, watermelon, wheat, almond, walnuts, peanuts, sesame seed, olives. He is allergic to 26 types of trees, 10 types of grass, 13 types of weeds, cats, cattle, dogs, and both dust mites. He also has to avoid all soda, chocolate, fried foods, spicy foods, gum because of the EoE and reflux.
Seriously, I want to comment on every picture! What a great group of babies, tots, kids, and teens!!!!!! I am given so much hope seeing all the beautiful older kids. And seeing the younger ones reminds me I am not alone.
Our Faces of Food Allergies Photo Sharing event is now officially closed. Thank you for sharing more than 500 of your beautiful children's photos during Food Allergy Awareness Week! What a powerful way to help us put a face to a diagnosis that affects 6 million U.S. children. Thanks also to our sponsors of our FAAW Faces of Food Allergies event - MedicAlert Foundation, Surf Sweets Organic Gummy Candy, Peanut Free Planet, Allergen-Free Baker, and The Bugabees! We will be having more photo sharing events later this year - so stay tuned!
