Finding Joy in the Suffering - A Family’s Fight for Seizure Freedom

When you’re in survival mode, asking for help can feel harder than trying to carry everything yourself.In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, Ty and Lisa O’Connor share their family’s journey through Charlie’s rare diagnosis, epilepsy, hospital stays, and the realities of navigating complex medical care. One of Lisa’s biggest takeaways for families walking a similar path: let people in. Allow your community to support you. Accept the meals, the check-ins, the help. You were never meant to carry every piece of the journey by yourself. Want to follow more of Charlie’s journey?
