Australian Army Soldier Julian and his need for immunoglobulin infusion Milkshakes for Marleigh

    • Documentary

In this episode of The Milkshakes for Marleigh Podcast we profile Julian, a recently medically discharged Soldier of the Australian Army who suffers from Acute Disseminated Encepalomyelitis (ADEM) which is a type of Autoimmune Encephalitis and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG), which both require Intravenous Immunoglobulin Infusion IVIg, which is made from human plasma donations. 
We also explore the impact that being a surviving twin has had on Julian's sense of identity and resilience. And the incredible role that dogs can play in physical, mental and  rehabilitation. 
We dedicate this episode to Julian's twin brother Jeremy and recognise the special role that twins who have passed away play in the lives of the families who love them.
