We are back for part two with our chat with Mim!

In this episode, Mim discusses her second pregnancy and birth which was a little earlier than her first. Although she had some experience of prematurity the first time around and knew a little of what to expect from a NICU admission, Covid struck! Being a parent to a sick child in NICU, while your husband and other child are a few hours away, with Covid restrictions thrown in the mix, its not easy that's for sure.

Little Griffin (and we mean little!) had a bit of a complicated journey home, and Mim and her husband found themselves back and forth a few times having conversations about end of life care. But Griffin has surpassed all odds and lives at home now with the support of a loving care team that help Mim and her family navigate life with a child ventilated full time via a tracheostomy. 

But the best part is hearing about Griffin and his brother Spencers beautiful sibling relationship, the unique and amazing individuals they are, and how Mim, her family and their support team plan to help this dynamic duo continue to have their zest for life and help them take on the world.
