IVF and ICU - a miracle baby and transplant story
Hear my story, told in no particular order with my sis and/or best pals over drinks. An emotional, sometimes hilarious, brutally honest account of how I coped with my husband having a liver transplant while I was on maternity leave with our IVF baby. I hope this helps anyone going through something similar and I'll be sure to alert any trigger warnings before each episode.
