Listen Later

Emma Groat is a mum of three and lives on a beef property north of Roma in Queensland. After a reasonably straight forward IVF journey with her first child, it took an unbelievable 10 rounds to conceive their second, before something very unexpected happened with their third. In 2019, Emma's youngest Max had a horrifying accident, walking into a fire pit that from the night before, suffering extensive fourth degree burns on his feet that required multiple surgeries and a 6 week stint in hospital. It all happened as Emma and her husband were navigating a drought. This is her story.
