My Cutie's Activities After BnB

May 24 2024 14 mins  
I had a recent email from a parent asking about our daughter's life after BnB in regards to sports and activities and how it compares to her peers.

Caregiver to Parent Transition

May 09 2024 15 mins  
In this episode I open up about my feelings of moving from being her primary caregiver with BnB to our cutie going to Kindergarten full time.

Is it the BnB or Something Else?

Nov 14 2023 13 mins  
In this episode I talk about the challenges we faced with our cutie that we might have attributed to the BnB which in hindsight was actually probably more about her personality than anything else. It is hard enough trying to figure out what an infant needs and then you add in a medical device and it adds another layer of complexity. This is my reflection of how what I think was les

An Important Question for the Clubfoot Consultation

Oct 13 2023 11 mins  
In this episode I discuss what I believe is one of the most important and often overlooked questions that needs to be asked in your consultation with your clubfoot treatment providers.
