Description

Any diagnosis received for your child can be completely overwhelming and heartbreaking. In this solo episode, Madeline shares her experience learning about each birth defect her son has because of his rare genetic syndrome.
She also talks about the minimizing effects of spouting off lists of diagnoses, the crippling weight each new diagnosis brought, as well as the triumph and personal evolution she has seen in herself as a result.
Her son’s “list” includes: Dwarfism, cervical spine instability, no nasal bone, low muscle-tone, hearing loss, and vision loss.

Their authentic conversations don’t shy away from the strong and mixed emotions that often accompany medically-complex parenting. Parents listen in to feel seen, validated, and receive much-needed solidarity. Professionals working with disabled people listen in to better understand what is often going on under the surface for a family living with disabilities.
