Parenting doesn't come with a manual.
But for Medical Parents this e-book can be your guide.
Being a Medical Parent is overwhelming.
This ebook helps you breathe a little easier.
Your Guide to Medical Parenting:
Organized, Empowered, and Supported
Written with Medical Parents in mind, Parent & Caregiver gives you tools for navigating this very unique journey.
Inside, you'll learn to:
Build Your Care Notebook
Your Care Notebook will keep track of appointments, hospital stays, so everything is in one hassle-free place. I explain how to make one, and keep it updated.
Master Medical Terminology
Tired of feeling lost in the jargon? Parent & Caregiver highlights common terms, to help you create your own personalized glossary with clarity and confidence.
For Parents Who Need To:
Navigate Healthcare Systems
From finding the right providers to getting answers from insurance, I share the key questions to ask, the red flags to watch out for, and effective ways you can advocate for your child through it all.
Nurture Family Relationships
When one child has complex needs, it can affect the whole family. Get practical ways to help siblings feel seen and included, plus staying connected to your partner through the ups & downs.
Schedule Like a Pro
I used to write with dry-erase markers on my bedroom mirror just to keep track of appointments. There’s a better way. And I’ll share with you the tools and tricks to simplify your scheduling and stay sane.
Feeling isolated is one of the
biggest struggles for Medical Parents.
Know that you are never alone on this journey.
A circle of support who truly get it - from friends and family to professionals
and peer parents - is closer than you may think.
I'm Michaela, a former occupational therapist and a Medical Mom.
I started The Medical Parent Network to help other moms, dads, and caregivers of medically complex children know they're never alone.
