#48 - Parenting through...having a child with a lifelong condition
Kerry McLean talks to Chris and Rebecca, who each have a son with a rare genetic condition, called PKU.
They courageously discuss how it affects their lives, and the wider family circle. They explain the experience of being told the diagnosis, and how they coped and moved forward from there.
This episode focuses on the feelings and challenges around having a child with a lifelong condition, and how the support from those in similar situations can help make things more manageable. We greatly appreciate Chris and Rebecca taking part in the Parentline podcast.
