rich 1.0 Amelia Christie is my guest this week, talking about her 5 year old son Oliver who has congenital heart disease, cerebral palsy, global development delay and is tube fed. We talk about how Amelia coped with lengthy stays in hospital for Oliver’s surgeries, lessons she learned and things she’s now put in place to make hospital stays slightly easier.  We talk about the importance of self-care while your child is ill but how hard that is to actually put into practice, and ways in which friends and family can support you.  Amelia also talks about an amazing experience Oliver has just had being named the honorary 35th runner in the 2026 Grand National.  You can find Amelia on Instagram @oliver_chdbaby The SEND Mum Club https://audioboom.com/channels/5150770-the-send-mum-club Audioboom https://audioboom.com 480 95 https://audioboom.com/i/43631941/600x600/c 600 600 <iframe width="100%" height="95" src="https://embeds.audioboom.com/posts/8899910/embed?v=202301" style="background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; width: 100%" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="allowtransparency" scrolling="no" title="Audioboom player" allow="autoplay" sandbox="allow-downloads allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation"></iframe>
