Growing up, a friend was someone you could share your snack with, tell your secrets to, and play with at recess. Of course, that changes with adulthood. But how does this change when you are a parent of a medically complex child? What does friendship look like when your days  and nights are spend caregiving?

Susan and Katrina chat about just that. You will hear how they have found and maintained friendships, when they really don't have time or energy to spare. With those friendships, they have built an amazing community of moms, willing to help each other out, even when it comes to international travel.
