Episode 13
Wednesday, 30 October, 2019
What to do when your child is sick is possibly one of the biggest causes of parental anxiety. From coughs and rashes to allergies and bumped heads, it is really difficult to know when we are justified in our concern or when we are just being over anxious. Turns out it is actually simple. Trust your gut.. and if you are not sure… go to the doctor. This week we talk to Gary Hansford, a dad who has experienced the worst case scenario when his daughter fell ill one night. His story is a cautionary one that could happen to anyone. Meningococcal disease is a potentially fatal disease that presents with cold like symptoms and is often diagnosed far too late.
