Mandy and Kate chat to mother and daughter dynamic pea duo Vicki and Rachel from Newcastle. Vicki is a mum of five kids and wife to her husband Neil, who has an acquired brain injury due to a stroke. One of her children also has neurofibromatosis, ADHD and learning disabilities. Her daughter Rachel was a young carer for her siblings and her stroke-affected stepdad, and recently became a mum to 2-year-old Amelia, who is a gorgeous little SWAN girl.


Rachel talks about Amelia’s birth and early few weeks spent in NICU. Amelia had a challenging start and needed approximately 25 emergency department visits in her first year for tube reinsertions and tape allergies. Rachel talks about the search for a diagnosis, which after many genetic tests, has still yet to be determined, and living with the uncertainty that this brings.


Vicki also talks about supporting her girl Rachel and the joys and challenges of being a mum and grandma to such a diverse family. Thank you Vicki and Rachel for sharing your story with us!
