You Need a Team, Stat
You can’t do this solo. Build your squad-doctors, meal-dropping friends, shoulders-to-cry-on people. Delegate!

Ask All the Questions
Nothing is too small or “dumb” to ask. Write all of your questions and concerns down, and ask again if you don’t understand something. Advocate like a boss-it’s for your kid, after all.

The Calendar is Your New BFF
Appointments, meds, labs—if it’s not on the calendar, it doesn’t exist. Get one, color-code it, and refer to it daily. Setting reminders for appointments and meds helps to make life simple for you.

Take Care of You
It’s not selfish; it’s survival. Coffee alone? A quick walk? A five-minute scream into the void? Do it. An empty-you isn’t much help to anyone.

Feel All the Feels
Anger? Check. Sadness? Yep. Frustration? Absolutely. Hopeful? You bet. Let it out-then come back stronger than ever.
