Spread the Cheer | When Medical Complexity Doesn't Take a Holiday Break

Christmas is the most magical time of the year. Well…is it? Is it really the most stressful time of the year? The stress is real for families of typical children, but add in medical complexity and we have a whole different ball of wax. Between parties and shopping and holiday performances, where do we also find time to breathe? Is it ok to say 'no' to these once a year activities? What happens when our kid just needs a break? How do we enjoy the holidays with the flu lurking around every corner?

Suz and Katrina sit down today to discuss all of these things. We also get to hear how Ellie has been doing lately and how Kat's family has been navigating new changes. We hope all of our listeners found moments of magic this holiday season. Let us know what worked best for your family.

"All I can think is: we can't get the flu." -Kat
