What happens when, as a high risk family, you've been shielding for months and your daughter needs to go to A&E?
That’s the dilemma faced by Kate when three-year-old Scout falls over in the paddling pool.
Kate has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and is isolating with her kidney transplant recipient wife Holly. Holly takes immunosuppressants, meaning the whole family must shield because she falls within the 'high risk' category.
Kate gives a raw and honest account of lockdown frustrations, fears and Frozen re-runs!
Produced by Amy Elizabeth - email amy.elizabeth@bbc.co.uk to get a message to Kate and Holly.
