  • Cooper’s Journey with Severe Hemophilia

    Cooper’s story was pretty intense! Cooper’s brave mama, Sammy gave in-depth insight into his unexpected medical journey of having a bleeding disorder know as Hemophilia. This is a story many parents can relate to and learn from. Also I noticed how Katie gently and skillfully guided this interview with great care!
