When Dr Golly and his wife, Ilit Golshevsky welcomed their third child Olympia into the world, something didn’t look right. She was born with a condition called Craniosynostosis meaning the bones in her skull weren’t developing as they should, which requires serious, intensive surgery.
Dr Golly, a renowned pediatrician, found himself navigating the unfamiliar territory of being on the other side of medicine, as a parent. Ilit, a compassionate and dedicated mother, felt a whirlwind of emotions, from confusion and guilt. They discussed this on the latest episode of Dr Golly and the Experts.
“I just went into survival mode… It was a blur… I do remember feeling lonely and feeling hopeless, sometimes thinking this was a sentence, a life sentence for her…”
In this deeply personal episode, the couple share profound insights into their individual struggles – including the impact it had on their relationship.
