Episode 31: Nine Months of Progress: Hosts Only Episode
In this episode, we sit down as hosts—and as parents—to reflect on the past nine months of life, learning, and growth with our son, Leo. We share a deeply personal update on his developmental journey, including the incredible moment he began walking just before his third birthday, the steady progress he’s made with signs and gestures, and how school and therapies have shaped his communication and confidence.
We also look back on the evolution of the MEF2Cast itself—how this podcast has woven into our daily lives, the ways our community has shown up for us, and what we’ve learned as we continue building a space for families walking similar paths. From navigating the IEP process to celebrating health improvements with L-Methylfolate and Leucovorin, we discuss the milestones, challenges, and support systems that have carried us forward.
The conversation touches on our favorite toy recommendations for children with similar needs, the role of therapists in Leo’s progress, and our hopes as we explore new ways to grow the podcast and create more content for the community we love.
