Parenting a medical needs child changes everything. It is refining, refocusing, hard and hilarious. In our first year of medical needs parenting, we've learned lots of lessons, most of them by trial and error (heavy on the error if we are putting all our cards on the table). This year has stretched and blessed us, and also given us a big connection with other medical families. My circle of solidarity with medical mommas has widened, and my heart longs to serve and encourage them.
So, I give you a new series, the "Medical Momma Toolkit: Tips, Tricks and Encouragement".
