The Mediocre Medical Mom

Welcome to The Mediocre Medical Moms corner of the universe! If you have landed here, it was for a reason. There is a specific group of people that we all happen to belong to; we are parents of children with medical needs.

Some are common, some are uncommon, some are rare, some are easy to understand, and some are not. We all face challenges in our daily lives trying to find the perfect balance for our children with medical needs as well as ourselves along the way…which isn’t always easy for us. No matter the diagnosis, you are not alone and we are in this together. Whether you are just browsing to find some common ground with someone who can relate, looking for advice, tips, understanding, and even resources to help make this journey a little easier. I am happy that you are here, and I hope you’re able to find what you are looking for!

From my daughters Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis, to my sons 3 month stay at Boston Childrens Hospital for Tracheomalacia, Ventricular Septal Defect (and more), from medications to oxygen to feeding tubes, I have just about seen it all and I am excited to share my journey with you.

My hope is to give a little insight to anything a parent in our position might need. Whether I can help a parent that is new to this or just give some solace to a parents that’s been in it as long as I have, my goal is to share my story and help other parents with tools they need to keep pushing and continue to fight this fight TOGETHER.

In my page, you will find blogs of my personal experiences with diagnoses, hospital stays, adjusting to home life, relationships & kids with medical needs, adjusting to school aged children with medical needs, 504 Plans, IEPs, pregnancy, trauma, advocating for our kids, and more. I’m hoping to share all kinds of lists that can fit your needs/concerns, tips & tricks for coping, resources and much more!
