September 9, 2021
In this episode, we talk to Jessica, mom to 10-year-old Caleb who was born with Pierre Robin Sequence, or PRS for short. PRS is a condition with several clinical features: a small lower jaw (micrognathia), displacement of the tongue toward the back of the oral cavity (glossoptosis) and, often but not always, an opening in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate). Jessica had to fight for the diagnosis because the doctors did not believe Caleb fit the criteria. She explains why it's so important to be a voice and advocate for our children.
