Season 2 | Episode 5: Raelie: CAH Does Not Define THIS Ten Year Old!
Is ten-year-old Raelie unphased by her CAH? Find out in this important episode of CAH Pulse where Stephanie and Dina speak with Amanda and her strong, brave and laid back 5th grade daughter, Raelie. This insightful mother daughter duo gives us an up-close view through the window of their daily lives navigating and troubleshooting life with this rare condition. Amanda explains their family hardships as well as their successes in managing her daughter's CAH, from her unsurprising fears as a mom trying to keep Raelie safe, to her hopes that the struggle will become less and less as Raelie grows so that her daughter can live life to its fullest like a typical kid, should.
Amanda's unapologetic approach to parenting has helped Raelie be the responsible, informed kid she is without allowing CAH to define her. Also, Dina hands us some hopeful news about the progress of CAH treatments as well as news of an officially approved drug!
