For the first time in 4 years we are pausing the podcast for a couple of weeks. I love doing it, but sometimes life has other plans. There is a lot going on behind the scenes, and while I am ok, I need to free up space for family and medical appointments.
I’m not fully disappearing and will be recording in advance. While I’m away we are releasing some of our most listened to episodes.
We’ve spoken before about the horrifying experience of being in limbo when the medical industry cannot give you a diagnosis.
Well imagine what it’s like when that happens to your new born baby.
In this weeks episode I’m speaking with my close friend and incredible force of nature Jess Galvin.
After having her first child, Jess and her husband were delighted when their daughter Lucy was born, apparently happy and healthy.
However things quickly changed when small symptoms appeared to indicate there could be other complications.
However as the medical establishment repeatedly dismissed her concerns, Jess had to push further and further before anyone would even acknowledge that something was wrong with her baby. But even when they did eventually admit their was a basis to her concerns, that was just the beginning of her family’s incredibly long and difficult journey
In today’s episode Jess shares:
- The first signs she noticed there might be complications with her daughter’s health
- The incredibly long journey they have been on to treat her illnesses
- How this challenge has impacted her family
- The lesson she learnt about using alcohol to help
