Join us for this episode of "Growing the Gift."  where we replay "Caring for a transplanted child and the effect on siblings" from the 2022 Pediatric Transplant Conference, part of National Pediatric Transplant Week and National Donate Life Month featuring CC Cunningham, Executive Director for the Chris Klug Foundation (CKF). Caring for a transplanted child can be a daunting task - both for the child and their siblings. While brothers and sisters may feel anger, resentment, or jealousy towards the new addition to the family, it's important to remember that they are going through just as big of a change as everyone else. By supporting one another, brothers and sisters can help make this difficult time a little bit easier for all of them. Families who have gone through this experience share what they've learned in this session. Join us to learn how to best support your recipient child's siblings and your transplanted loved one.

The "Growing the Gift" podcast is about pediatric transplant recipients from the eyes of those who live it every day: caregivers, parents, the clinical team, and the community.

We know that being a transplant family comes with unique challenges, and we want to provide a space for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. In each episode, we will explore a different topic related to transplantation through interviews with experts and families like yours.

We hope this podcast will be a source of information and connection for you as you navigate your transplant journey. Thank you for being part of our community, and happy listening!
