Hi, I perchance heard this story on sirius radio. I think the first line I heard was Melanie saying she was an at-home mom one day and then the next caring for two brain-injured adults. Many people I know have found themselves in this situation because we are caring for a disabled child and/or one that was one day their happy-neurotypical self and the next day struck with an auto-immune disorder that attacks the brain. The violence that struck this family is unimaginable and surviving that is in and of itself, heroic.
from my perspective the story needs to be told for explanation of why more community supports are needed for families that have health needs such as this family. Melanie can’t do it all. god bless them.

Great piece. It reminds us that while millions live happy normal lives, tens of thousands have gone trough a truly terrible story that leaves them struggling for the rest of their lives. Those stories are real; they shouldn’t be obscene (off-scene).

I followed the Guerette’s story in the news, and this piece is the first one that shows who they are. Very nicely done, and as for the public radio question, I’d say yes, if we are talking the tone and quality of the piece, definitely. The story is compelling, but not news, at this point, so I guess approaching the right program is key.
