New Blog Post! Navigating Rare Disease Challenges: How My Rett Ally Became a Mom’s Secret Asset In the wild ride of parenthood, nothing quite prepares you for the unexpected twists and turns that life throws your way. For Yesenia, her journey took an unforeseen detour when her daughter, Alessandra was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome at just 18 months old. What followed was a rollercoaster of emotions, hurdles, but ultimately, a journey illuminated by love, grit, and hope. “Being Alessandra’s mom is my greatest honor. She makes everything better and is such a bright light! However, navigating and getting support for Alessandra’s needs is overwhelming and very challenging at times.” Says Yesenia When the first FDA-approved medication for Rett Syndrome hit the scene in June 2023, there was both excitement and nerves. “We were like, ‘Yay, progress!’ But also, ‘Oh man, side effects?” “I needed something to help me keep track of everything without driving myself crazy,” she admits. “And let me tell you, this app. It’s been a game-changer.” “The apps easy-peasy interface made logging observations a breeze. No more scribbling notes on random bits of paper. And when we’d go in for check-ups, having all the info right there on my phone? Genius!” Read more about Yesenia and Alessandra by clicking our new blog link in our bio. #blog #rettsyndrome #rett #caregiving #newtreatment #fdaapproved #raredisease #medlists #disability #advocate #advocatelikeamother #healthcare #healthtech #caregiverapp #gtube

This is why routine testing for Group B Strep needs to become common practice and why there needs to be greater understanding of GBS #GroupBStrepAwarenessMonth #GroupBStrep #GBSAware
“While I love Aurelia to bits, some days I still struggle to accept what happened, particularly as it could have been prevented.” Our client Danielle tested positive for Group B Streptococcus while pregnant with her daughter Aurelia. But she wasn’t given the necessary treatment during labour, and as a result, Aurelia developed sepsis and probable meningitis, which lead to a brain injury. We supported Danielle for answers and helped Aurelia access the specialist care she needs. Our legal expert Laura Daly said, “With Group B Strep Awareness Month upon us, we join Danielle in her call for all expecting mums to be offered testing and provided with treatment if found to be positive.” Read their story: bit.ly/3QbOfan #GroupBStrepAwarenessMonth #GroupBStrep #GBSAware
