Her Daughter's Life Depends on a Trach: Adrianna Stallard on Faith, Fear & Fighting for Abigail
What do you do when your child's life depends on a single medical device? In this deeply moving episode of Moms Like Me , Adrianna Stallard shares the raw, real story of her daughter Abigail's medically complex journey — from a long NICU stay and multiple diagnoses to the terrifying reality that Abigail's airway is now fully collapsed and major reconstruction surgery lies ahead. Adrianna opens up about the trauma of watching her daughter code, the emotional toll this journey has taken on her family, how writing became a lifeline, and why faith and community have carried them through the darkest moments. She also shares what it means to fight for a 'normal' childhood for Abigail in the middle of extraordinary medical challenges. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in fear, uncertainty, and exhaustion, hope can still take root.
