Ep 19: What Would You Do If Your Child Got A Rare Disease?
This episode is all about helping this momma get through a very difficult time in her and her family's life right now.
This whole hour will be focused on Kathure’s family and her daughter, little Beautiful Ayah. Last November, Ayah got diagnosed with SMA which stands for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. SMA is a very rare disease and 1 out 10.000 children get diagnosed with this disease every year. It is so rare that Denmark has not approved the treatment for it since they only get 2 cases every year. Kathure has to go outside Denmark to get the treatment for a gene replacement therapy called Zolgensma, which will cost them 2million USD out of pocket.
Ep 18: From Making Danes Laugh To Changing Diapers In Denmark
In this episode, we will be talking to a dad who made his way into Denmark and is famous for making people laugh with his jokes about the danish language and some of the odd traditions that we all question. I am so happy that he wanted to be on this radio show and podcast to talk about his experience being an international dad and his success as an English comedian in Denmark. If you live in Denmark, you might have seen him on TV 2 because he has been on there a couple of times.
EP 04: What To Expect When Expecting in Denmark
Welcome to Episode 4 of My kids think I’m cool, BUT… Podcast. In today’s episode we will be talking about getting knocked up abroad. I’m using American english slang, so basically I’m saying getting pregnant abroad. In this episode, we will talk about: how moms can prepare for birth in Denmark, what to expect before and after birth, and how important mother groups are for international mothers.
It is an exciting moment for any new parent to become a new mom or dad, but it is also scary for some who does not have the friends, and family close to by. My experience being pregnant in Denmark was fun, BUT lonely at times because I didn’t have anyone to share the experience with. Yes, I had my husband and his family but that was not the same from my own friends and family back in Los Angeles.
