Overwhelmed to Empowered

When your child is born with a congenital or chronic illness, your life changes forever; it’s easy to become overwhelmed. When you’re the first or only one in the family with a child with their condition, you begin to feel a loneliness and separation you don’t think others can relate to. To add to your sense of desperation, you’re inundated with specialists, appointments, treatment plans, a plethora of medications, and required follow up visits.

In Overwhelmed to Empowered, author Jillian Theorgood shares her experiences and lessons learned to show you’re not alone and that you, too, can shake the feeling of being overwhelmed and embrace the sentiment of being empowered. She includes a log to facilitate the tracking of vital information such as family history, immunizations, diagnosis, medications, customizable data tracking logs, and scheduling assistance.

Overwhelmed to Empowered offers a resource that becomes your personal assistant, helping you advocate for and be the voice for your child in your interactions throughout the journey.
