Description

Cali relies on her trach and feeding tube for life. And as most parents with children who are dependent on life-sustaining equipment, Falesha both loves and resents it. Our children would not be alive today without them, and yet we still can feel annoyed and resentful towards the hassle and fears they bring.
In this fun episode, Falesha advises NICU parents to take training seriously, shares both the how-to and the benefits of traveling with equipment in tow and laughs at the fact that we as parents are dependent on the machines too, but at more of an emotional level.
This episode is being rebroadcasted from Ep. 66 in Season 4.
