Summer Mini #11: Family Planning Decisions + Changing Sibling Relationships | Madeline’s Catch-Up

Three years ago, I shared two episodes about my own family: one where I discussed how I discovered that I was a carrier for my son’s condition, and another where I talked about how much my older daughter struggled with accepting her brother. In the years since, we’ve navigated difficult decisions and agonizing choices, and now, for once, we feel somewhat settled. In this episode, I’m sharing those decisions, how we made them, and how they’ll impact our future. Plus, I’m sharing a positive and heart-warming update on how my children have grown their sibling relationship. This episode is so tender, and I’m so honored to share it with you. Also, huge thank you to our sponsor Functional Formularies! They make incredible, nutritious food for our tube-fed kids that’s easy to access and use.
