Cathy’s Story: Being Guy’s Mum - the joys and challenges of Special Needs parenting

Loved Called Gifted

There are two Cathys in this episode! Our host, Catherine Cowell, is joined by her friend Cathy, who shares her journey so far being Mum to her son Guy. A journey of small birth weight and inducement, of a traumatic birth story and the NICU. A story of breathing problems (bronchiolitis) and late night trips to hospital. Of metopic synostosis/fused sutures and major surgery. Of epilepsy and Autism. Of both mainstream and special school. And of family.
But also, a story of hope, fear, sorrow, much joy, of prayers answered, and of drama.
It's a long one, so settle in, but make sure you've got the tissues handy, because it's an emotional journey through the past 9 years. And it's a privilege to get to hear it.
