Episode 101 - Dr Weston Talks with Laura Barrett about Cystic Fibrosis: A Parent's Journey Through Their Child's Diagnosis and Hospital Stays

In this podcast, Dr Weston is joined by Laura Barrett, author of
a powerful and moving new book which chronicles her experiences
when, shortly after birth, her third son was diagnosed with the
life-limiting genetic condition, cystic fibrosis. It is a
powerful and inspiring read, imparting a strong message of hope
for any parent going through a similar situation. In this
interview, published to coincide with Cystic Fibrosis Week
(13th-19th June), Laura describes her coping mechanisms, gives us
some insight into raising a child who has cystic fibrosis (her
baby has grown into a fun-loving, sport mad young boy, raring to
start school in September) and provides some general advice on
coping with diagnoses and long hospital stays, regardless of the
specific condition.
