Medication
Year 1
por Michael Wear
In episode four of the DDD podcast, we take a dive into the dietary lifestyle of a child with ASA, and the poorly handled mental health of your host, Mike Wear.
In episode 3 of the DDD podcast, I take a look at the medication that Emmalyn was taking when she was first diagnosed with ASA. I discuss the mental and physical toll medications can have, and the side effects her meds have had on her. We look at the mental toll meds have on a dad, and how even something as simple as altering meds to something better, can be devastating on a fathers mental health.
In this episode of the DDD podcast, I take you through what it was like for the first year of Emmalyn's life, the hospital visits, the IVs. The emotional toll it took on me as a father. And I hope it gives you some insight into what it is like to be a dad, who has a child with a disorder.
When we first found out that Emmalyn had ASA it changed my life completely. In this episode, I go over the thoughts and feelings I had as a father, what it was like to try and come to grips with this life-altering diagnosis.
