Cystic Fibrosis Podcast 218: What is it like to be a spouse and primary caregiver?

In the latest Jerry Cahill CF podcast, Laura O’Donnell – married to Kevin O’Donnell for over five years – shares what her journey has been like as the spouse and primary caregiver of someone who faced end stage cystic fibrosis and transplant. Prior to the surgery, Laura had very little “me” time and always placed Kevin and his health first. Now, life after transplant allows for a little more time for Laura and enables them to start checking items off their bucket list as a couple!

Laura’s advice for any spouse or significant other going through that process? Educate yourself and connect with others who have faced it already!

Tune in to learn more about Laura, her husband Kevin, and their path through transplant.
