When my daughter was diagnosed with a rare, neurodegenerative disease in 2015, the old me died. I lost myself in the endless persist to save her.

I began to dive into the leukodystrophy community to find anything and everything I could to help her. I spent most of my time researching and making phone calls to get Jordyn enrolled in a research study I had heard about at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

They had a new Leukodystrophy Center of Excellence that had just opened. We would end up traveling to Philly every year, sometimes multiple times a year for research visits and other procedures.

I Wish I Would Have Known More About Miscarriage Before Having One
The moment I realized I was pregnant, I tried to dial my emotions down. I used the term “cautiously optimistic” because I wanted to make sure that I was not overly attached to my pregnancy in case I would become one in four people who miscarry. I only told a handful of friends and always made sure to include the sentence “We are excited, but I’m only telling people who could support me through a miscarriage right now.” Even knowing the statistics, and my increased likelihood because of my ongoing battle with PCOS and hypothyroidism, I was still excited.

The Infinite Benefits of Including Students With Disabilities
I was in my daughter’s middle school for a meeting with some of her teachers. As I was walking down a hallway with a few of them they stated, “Look, there is Yassy! She is cycling away. We hear she loves to go in that room and ride the bike for the whole gym class. She is in great shape.”  I looked in the room and there weren’t many other kids in there. It was new, with a glass wall, so I saw her and took this photo. It is blurry because I was trying to be quick, so as not to distract her.

What We Learned About Our 15-Year-Old Son’s Lesser-Known Eating Disorder
The DSM-5 (a manual that lists all psychiatric diagnoses, which medical professionals use) states that “avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder involving an extreme avoidance or low intake of food that affects growth and level of nutrients a patient receives.” My 15-year-old son has struggled with this for many years, but we just recently realized it was getting bad enough that he needed formal treatment. He has many oral aversions, a severe gag reflex, and in addition, has over 20 food allergies.

Surviving the In-Person Learning Transition: Game Plans and Instant Replays
transitions and change: the “game plan” and the “instant replay.”Imagine a coach delivering a rousing speech meant to fire up and motivate their team before a game. This pre-game speech includes a run-through of the game plan – what the players can expect during the game, how to handle certain plays from the opposing team, and what the expectation is for each player.Parents, you can play the coach by providing your children with a game plan before they undertake a tough task; often, it’s just what they need to succeed.Game plans help children with ADHD compensate for deficits with executive functions — the brain’s board of directors carrying out skills to get a job done.

Learning to Look at My Chronic Illness Scars With Love
I looked at my body. My fingers methodically tracing the jagged scars on my soft chest. The healed and blanched scar that snakes down the length of my taut belly. They say these are my warrior scars, part of the tapestry of my life. All I can do is say I’m sorry … to the little kid that was born with a perfect child’s body, the one that played in the trees like a spider monkey, built forts of billowing white sheets made for a princess with red auburn curly hair and had tea parties with Bear. She had no idea there was a monster, a thing awaiting inside of her. Quietly given to her by her unknowing parents, a gift of everlasting physical and emotional pain on par with any disaster imagined.

They coincidentally also got my ears checked a lot because I “wasn’t able to hear people sometimes.”Because of my undiagnosed ADHD, I was often a confusing student to teach.
