Description

Telling your story, sharing your story with others is a good way to get your thoughts and feelings out, connect with those with similar experiences, and be truly seen. Annette Hines, host of Parenting Impossible takes this opportunity to share her story with new listeners and reconnect with her dedicated Parenting Impossible fans. With one in five peopled impacted by a condition that is disabling whether physically, intellectually, developmentally there are so many of us who can relate. Annette’s entrance into the disability community is an important story that explains her role as a caregiver, mom, advocate, attorney, and author. In fact, she has put her entire story in a book, Butterflies and Second Chances: A Mom's Memoir of Love and Loss. So please join Annette and learn about her journey. We know there are so many shared experiences out there! Annette Hines was a young mom in her twenties when she got pregnant with Elizabeth. At five months Annette was put on bed rest until her first daughter, Elizabeth was born at twenty-nine weeks weighing in at two pounds. After nine weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Elizabeth was able to go home. As she grew, Elizabeth started to have seizures. It was difficult for Annette to find a team of doctors that would believe her description of the seizures Elizabeth was having. Once Annette found a supportive medical specialist, at age two and a half, Elizabeth was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease along with other health issues. This begins Annette’s story as a caregiver, mom, advocate, attorney, and the author of Butterflies and Second Chances: A Mom's Memoir of Love and Loss.Have you been searching for a law firm that understands the unique challenges of your family?
