Episode 66: Taylor Coffman - aHUS

Taylor shares her traumatic and transformative journey of being diagnosed with a rare condition – atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) – triggered during childbirth. Her story is one of medical chaos, survival against all odds, and learning to mother through unimaginable obstacles. With grace and humour, Taylor opens up about the physical devastation of her illness, the emotional toll of being separated from her newborn daughter, and the importance of timely diagnosis and innovative treatments. She also reflects on how becoming a patient changed her relationship with vulnerability, resilience, and advocacy.

The song Taylor chose is Be (For July) by Dustbowl Revival, written by her husband Zach Lupetin for their daughter.
