the shelves of their local grocery store, Beichler says her options are extremely limited as the prescription-based formula can only be supplied through the manufacturer.
"I called them and they're like, 'Oh sorry, that's on backorder.' I was like, 'What? Was anyone going to tell me? What am I supposed to do?' " she says. "I hung up the phone and immediately sent an email to our doctors, but no one had any answers.
"Our days are numbered. We have two weeks before we're out of formula. I'm trying not to freak out. I'm trying not to think about it," Beichler says. "I'm trying to get through each day as fast as I can and do what I need to do. The worst part is not knowing what's next."
