Episode 7

When a Child Gets Sick, Part 2, The Long Road With No End in Sight

Part 1 ended with a breath we could finally take. This one starts right after that breath, and keeps going.

This episode is being recorded from the middle of something that isn't over yet. Seven plus months in, still managing, still waiting, still not done. I take you through what the long stretch actually looks like. The pattern of up two weeks and down. The Shabbos morning he stood at the playground fence and cried because he couldn't go on. The Purim we dressed as the Zwiren Platelet Posse because at some point you either lean into it or it breaks you. And the outside perspective from a specialist in New York that changed how we looked at all of it.

This one is for every parent past the initial crisis but still in it. And for the friends who haven't forgotten.

If you found this, it was for a reason. I'm here. And I've got you.
