There was a time, back at the beginning of our children's diagnosis, where we thought traveling was just no longer an option for us. We just didn't see how it was doable to ever go on a vacation with not just one, but two children in wheelchairs (and A LOT of medical equipment). Just the thought of it alone was incredibly overwhelming. As we gear up for our third family road trip with our kids next week, I wanted to share some of my top travel tips with you on ways to decrease your pre-trip anxiety and ensure the smoothest trip possible with your kiddos. Traveling with medically complex kids may take a little more planning for us and strategic packing, but it's definitely doable!
