Do we get a 'lockdown dog' to help our disabled child?
Parents Kate and Holly consider whether their adopted toddler needs animal assistance.
Our lockdown couple Kate and Holly adopted a toddler with restricted growth during the pandemic. She calms down around dogs, but does she really need therapeutic assistance from an animal?
And we drop back in on Kate's story about living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome whilst mostly shielding. She has been offered an operation to help her endometriosis and wonders if she should have paid more attention to a diagnosis of something called FND.
The podcast also witnesses Kate's first attempt at using hormone replacement gel as she wonders where to put it (Prepare for cheeky humor)
