Thinking a lot about how to keep children rooted in their unique identities apart from their illness. You are not your your fears, your infections. You are not PANS. Our brains can get sick but we are not that in our essence. Looking back at old photos I think of pre-illness and post-illness and how things have changed but I still believe the wounds and insults are still not our truest selves. There is still healing, there is still restoration, and there is always hope. Keep hoping for your babies because where we look, they will look. Keep them centered in their stories. They are not forgotten. #mentalhealth #pans #pandas
