I’m glad I was able to pivot on the spot! I’m getting that practice in now so once Lydia is older and more aware, she still won’t realize the things she misses out on due to accessibility. 🫶🏼✨ motherhood | moms | mom life | medical mama | special needs mom | toddler | mommy and me | disability parenting | family | sahm | cerebral palsy | napa center Chicago | accessible summer activities

She was sick well before we ever stepped foot on a plane. And my mommy senses were screaming from the top of their lungs. I called our medical hotline nearly a dozen times over 3 days but just kept hearing confirmations that “babies just get colds” and “an ER visit is absolutely not necessary”. Were there signs? Yes absolutely. But I don’t blame the on-call doctors. Realistically, if we’d gone in when I first had a bad feeling, we wouldn’t have been taken seriously. And I likely wouldn’t have been on high alert still. motherhood | moms | mom life | medical mama | special needs mom | toddler | mommy and me | disability parenting | family | sahm | cerebral palsy

Lydia is working towards finding her voice in new ways, which has given her the opportunity to express unique thoughts she couldn’t before. Given that—it was so humbling to watch her share with her friend. 🥹 Getting to see the love Dan and I pour into her outwardly displayed for the first time ever is something I won’t forget. Even when it doesn’t feel it…the work you’re doing matters. motherhood | moms | mom life | medical mama | special needs mom | toddler | mommy and me | disability parenting | family | sahm | cerebral palsy | aac | eye gaze communication | Napa center Chicago | pediatric intensive therapy | speech therapy
