Kayce shares how resilience is built in real time, how expectations are reshaped, and how she and Hayes have turned their journey into advocacy and two children’s books that encourage other families. We also discuss the vital role Shriners Hospitals has played in Hayes’ care and how community support makes an ongoing difference.
