Even if you aren’t a rare disease medical mama, YOU NEED TO LISTEN. In this episode, whoa, wow, what?? Susan is the podcast hostess of When Autumn Comes. She is also the medical mama of 2 children with the extremely rare form of mitochondrial disease. In our discussion today, she gives voice to the struggles and the joy of raising children with a life expectancy of 2-5 years. I am so honored to talk with her. We get into issues like:
· How long does it take to get to a place of “okay-ness” with everything you hear and have to deal with after a diagnosis?
· Pumping, breast feeding, and the things we can “somewhat” control when there is so much we can’t control.
· How do we deal with the things that separate our children from the perceived “typical/normal” child?
· How do we live!!!??? How do we all continue to live with children that are in the process of closing this chapter?
· What would you really want for your child and your life as a family? What type of your journey would you change?
We cover this and so much more!
Enjoy!
