When we first start out in this rare life, it’s often terrifying. Everything is coming at us so fast, and sometimes you have to wonder: does it ever get better? Do things ever even out? It might feel impossible in those scary early days, but looking back, many of us have found a new perspective since then.
Today, I’m sharing thoughts from this community on what they wish they could go back and say to that earlier version of themselves who was just beginning on their medically complex journey.
I’m so excited to kick off our summer minis with this heart-warming episode.
Also, huge thank you to our sponsor Functional Formularies! They make incredible, nutritious food for our tube-fed kids that’s easy to access and use. Honestly, if our kids are eating Functional Formularies formula, they’re probably eating better than us!
