When Autumn Comes: Seasons of Hope for Medical + Disability Moms10 Heinä 2024

Christi | Shaken Baby Syndrome

Trigger Warning: Shaken Baby Syndrome

Some sources estimate that a parent makes 35,000 decisions per day for our child. Some of these are small, like what socks to wear. Others, more important, like who will care for them while we are away. We hope we make these decisions we make, both big and small, add up in ways that create a safe and healthy environment for our babies. But what if…What happens when the person we have trusted our baby does the un-thinkable?

Today we sit down with Christi. She bravely shares her story, of how her son was harmed by the very person she had trusted to care for him. She shares his medical journey, and the trauma her family has endured.

"Everyone knows not to do that to a baby." - Christi

Medical motherhood is challenging whether you are "born" into it, or through a tragic accident. In a world where life can feel isolating, please know you are not in this alone. Join us in the When Autumn Comes Society or send us a DM on Instagram! We'd love to hear from you!
