Child Life On Call: Parents Of Children With An Illness Or Medical Condition Share Their Stories With A Child Life Specialist

  My special guest is Rhandyl Vinyard, Deonna Wade Rhandyl Vinyard and Deonna Wade are two phenomenal mothers from Texas, each raising disabled children. Drawn together by shared circumstances, their friendship continues to strengthen others walking a similar path. Rhandyl, a physical therapist assistant, is the mother to Remy, who has required intensive medical care from an early age. Her background in healthcare provides a unique perspective into the challenges of raising a disabled child. Deonna, once a teacher, is mom to Allie who was thrust into an unexpected medical journey after a rare and tragic accident. Both moms bring a wealth of personal experience and heartfelt understanding to the table, connecting communities and gifting invaluable advice to others. If that's your only thing is being that caretaker role and that's it, it's going to eat you up eventually... life is short and that we're not guaranteed tomorrow. So let's just have fun today and be happy and thankful for what we have. - Deann
