Additionally, Dan will share his insights and predictions for former President Donald Trump’s pick for Vice President as the RNC starts on July 15th.
Our second guest today is Sandra Nieto, author of "Special Kids—Chosen Moms: A Mother's Guide to Raising Her Special Needs Child." Did you know that every 4 1/2 minutes, a baby is born with a birth defect in the United States? Birth defects affect 1 in every 33 babies born in the US each year, translating to about 120,000 babies, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sandra Nieto will share her story of how her son, Clay, contracted group B strep on the third day of his life and became part of that statistic. She says, “My beautiful child, Clay, was blind, had cerebral palsy, was fed via a G-tube with a twenty-four-hour feeding pump, and took as many as thirty-two medications a day.”
