What's covered in this Video:
From Families and Caregivers, Psychology and Mental Health, Immune thrombocytopenia
In this video, Sadie Wright’s parents talk about the challenges they face while caring for their child with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). They share how stress can sometimes feel overwhelming, but using humor and maintaining open communication helps them stay strong as a couple.
The couple talks about how their life has changed, from the limitations on travel to the extra care required at home. But even with these changes, they focus on the blessings they still have, such as the support from extended family, friends, and their care team.
They also emphasize the importance of appreciating small victories and leaning on each other when things get tough. With a strong sense of humor and perspective, they continue to find ways to balance the hard times with moments of positivity and connection.
