Description

Emma Rennison chats with host Lisa McKelvey about the difficulties her mum went through with getting medical assistance for what was originally thought to be hip dysplasia for herself as a child.  

Then years later, as a mother, Emma sits in medical appointments and by her childrens bedside, while they have extensive orthopedic conditions as well. The Rennisons now have a diagnosis of the genetic condition  - Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia (MED)

Emma is a wonderful mother, wife, writer, story teller and disability advocate from Melbourne, Victoria. 

Episode 7 of The Long Road Podcast takes you on a beautiful journey of self discovery, advocacy and acceptance.
