Listen Later

I was so grateful to have the opportunity to sit down with TikTok megastar Kyla Thomson to discuss her life as a medical mom to Bella. Bella and her family have been inspiring the world for years on social media, creating and promoting the hashtag #BellaBrave, reminding us all that we can do hard things while finding a silver lining amidst even the most difficult challenges.

A word from Kyla:

I am Kyla Thomson and I am a medical mom to Bella. Before Bella was born I was a  teacher. My husband and I have lived on our acreage near Swift Current,  Saskatchewan, Canada (where I grew up)since 2012.  Currently  Bella is 8y old and in grade 3. Our son Waylon (non - medical kiddo) is  3 years old and the sweetest little brother to Bella.

The  first 2 years of Bella’s life we spent in hospital. Those years put her  through many bowel surgeries for LSHD & CVCs, a bone marrow  transplant for having been unknowingly born with SCID and many hospital  transfers. Currently 23 surgeries,

Bowel  failure & loss of vascular access has landed Bella on the Bowel  Transplant waiting list since July of 2020. We are currently managing  her conditions through the primary care of Alberta Children's Hospital  & Toronto SickKids hospital while I remain a full time medical mom  in our home.

My  daughter Bella has not only made me a medical mom but has shown me what  it means to be brave. We aim to inspire the world & show that you  can still find joy through the hardest of times. My husband and son are  the rocks that support us through it all.

Each  day from birth my baby girl has had to fight rare disease and she  continues to do so with such bravery and strength. She has taught me so  much as her momma and I couldn’t be more proud of how she handles this  medical life.
