#Parenting Through Sickness, Recovery & Never-Ending Laundry

What really happens when your child comes home after respite care? In today’s vlog, Elin returns after three nights at respite — and within hours we’re straight into unpacking, pad failures, sickness bugs, and never-ending laundry. At the same time, there are the beautiful moments: Alice being her wild self, Elin testing watermelon, and us all finding our way back into family rhythm. #respitecare #coparenting #cerebralpalsy #specialneedsparenting Respite is vital, but so is showing what parenting looks like after the break. This vlog is about sickness, recovery, and the messy-but-meaningful everyday of raising a medically complex child. 👉 If you’ve ever felt like laundry rules your life, leave me a comment — I’d love to know I’m not alone in this. 💬 And if you’re new here, hit subscribe for more vlogs about special needs parenting. I'm a special needs mum vlogger in the UK with two daughters, one of whom is severely disabled. Elin is a girl with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, she has a feeding tube, is a wheelchair user and as she can't use the toilet independently she is in a nappy / diaper. Apart from cerebral palsy, Elin has complex medical needs and seizure disorder. She has tonic clonic, or grand mal seizures, partial focal seizures and absence seizures. She is on multiple medications every day, for her spastic muscles, for her reflux disorder and for her epilepsy. Elin is on a blended diet, which we give her through her feeding tube, and I share tips, how to and recipes. On this channel I share our day to day life, our morning, feeding, medication and bedtime routines, feeding techniques, how Elin communicates, etc. I also showcase the relationship between Elin and her sister Alice, and how they play and interact with each other. And I share what life is like for a single, midlife mom who always juggles too much. Organisation tips, perimenopause, and coparenting.
