 🎙️NEW PODCAST EPISODE! 🎙️
⚡ “Living with Chronic Illness & Immune System Conditions” ⚡

🔊 Rock the World with Kay & Michelle is back—this time diving into immune system conditions and what it really looks like when a child is chronically ill. This is an honest, educational, and deeply personal conversation about life beyond the chart notes.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, healthcare professional, or someone navigating chronic illness—this episode is for you.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ What immune system conditions can look like in infants and young children
✅ Why some kids get frequent, severe infections even when “labs are normal”
✅ The long gray area before diagnosis and the emotional toll of waiting
✅ Early signs parents are often told to ignore
✅ Polysaccharide Antibody Deficiency (SAD) explained in real-life terms
✅ Why SAD can’t be diagnosed before age 2
✅ Vaccine challenge testing (pre- and post-antibody response)
✅ Treatment approaches focused on prevention, not just reaction
✅ Daily life realities between appointments
✅ Emergency planning, safety, and advocacy
✅ Why parent intuition and pattern recognition matter

👩‍💬 Michelle shares her son Graham’s journey with Polysaccharide Antibody Deficiency (SAD)—a condition where the body can’t make enough protective antibodies against certain bacteria, despite normal overall immune levels
🎙️ Kayla Ireland brings lived experience, reflection, and advocacy-focused insight

🔥 Why This Episode Matters:
Chronic illness doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like another ear infection, another round of antibiotics, or another “wait and see.” Awareness helps families get support sooner—and helps professionals listen differently.

💬 “Normal labs don’t always mean normal immune function.”
💬 “You don’t need a diagnosis to start advocating for your child.”
