   She Dropped Him at Daycare...10 Days Later Shelby Cannon's Son Was Fighting for His Life

   What happens when a routine daycare drop-off turns into every parent’s worst nightmare? In this powerful episode of Moms Like Me Podcast, host Jordan Arogeti sits down with Shelby Cannon, a mom of three whose world changed forever after her infant son, Benny, suffered a devastating hypoxic brain injury while in daycare. Shelby walks us through the moment she received the call, the frantic race to the hospital, and the days doctors warned her family that Benny might not survive—or might never breathe on his own again. She shares what it’s like to grieve the life you thought your child would have while learning how to care for a child with cerebral palsy, dystonia, cortical visual impairment, and complex medical needs. This conversation goes far beyond tragedy. Shelby opens up about: • Navigating marriage under unimaginable pressure • Parenting siblings through trauma and uncertainty • Facing a legal system that didn’t feel like justice • Finding purpose in advocacy, including the push for “Benny’s Law” • Learning how to keep going when “strong” feels like the only option If you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone walking through an unexpected life detour, this episode is raw, honest, and deeply human—and a reminder that resilience doesn’t mean pretending it doesn’t hurt.
