This story isn't just about the challenges faced by one family in their health care journey. But also examines what's available & not available in our public health system - & if society knows about those restrictions.
My heart goes out to Caileigh and her recovery.

My first Bluesky post (I'm a late learner) after making the acc't awhile ago. Fitting that I'm posting an update to a story I wrote in 2019, before Bluesky launched and when Twitter was nice. A warning: this story is disturbing & is about sexual assault. Take care.
