Hannah's blood transfusion rejuvenated her to such a degree that it was almost possible to forget she was sick ... almost. There was a big reminder hanging over us, and that was her upcoming MRI. Every cancer patient and his or her family und
My guest today is a mother who shares a very different kind of child loss story than what is typically featured on this podcast. Sylvia Blakely has experienced the loss of two babies … one to abortion and one to miscarriage. In our conversati
Up to this point, Hannah had handled everything that had come her way with remarkable aplomb ... the discovery of the tumor, brain surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, weekly blood draws ... but the news that she would have to have a blood transfu
Thankfully, clinic day brought some answers for Hannah's ongoing malaise. Today I share an email I sent sixteen years ago ... Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in whi
The day we'd been waiting for had finally arrived. Yes, it was Mother's Day, but more than that, it was Carrie Underwood Concert Day! Hannah had been a huge fan of Carrie's ever since she first walked onto the stage to audition on American Id
The debut of the Magnet Cove High School Choir's performance of Alice in Wonderland was scheduled for this evening ten years ago. Hannah had missed a lot of the practices due to our numerous trips to Little Rock for radiation treatments and do

At this point in Hannah's treatment, we were really enjoying living a "normal" life. We were nearing the end of the school year, and were fully involved in all the busy-ness that brings. Between the two girls there were field trips, track mee
Susan Morrison's daughter Miranda was a young wife and mother when she began experiencing some puzzling health issues and was ultimately diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer. In the first half of this two-part episode, Susan talks about wa
At this point in Hannah’s cancer journey, we entered an idyllic period. She had completed all her radiation treatments and had taken 33 out of 42 scheduled doses of the chemo drug Temodar, before her platelet levels dropped dangerously low and
After two months of balancing the twin burdens of daily chemotherapy and radiation treatments, the news that they had come to an end sooner than expected (even if only temporarily) was reason to rejoice! It was such a relief to think of gettin
If you’re a regular listener to the podcast, you are probably aware that my husband Brad had a near-fatal incident with an ATV a few months ago right before Christmas. To mark this special 200th episode of the While We’re Waiting podcast, he j
At this point in treatment, we could not have foresesen how much of a battle Hannah would have maintaining her platelet levels. Low platelets caused ongoing issues for her the entire year she was sick. But at this time, we had no reason to be
Verses about joy abound in the Bible, and I'd like to share ten of my favorites with you in today's bonus episode. As you listen, I want to draw your attention to how many of these verses have the word "joy" juxtaposed with grief, tears, trial
It was so important to Hannah to be able to take her end-of-course geometry exam on this date sixteen years ago! When she got home that day, she described feeling like her desk and her chair were tilted as she took the test, and she had to hol
By April 21, 2008, Hannah had been undergoing radiation treatments five days a week and taking an oral chemotherapy drug daily since mid-March. The intensity of these ongoing treatments was finally beginning to take a toll, as you will hear fro
Hannah was a very private person and gave us very few hints into what was going on in her mind during her cancer battle. These poems from her poetry anthology are such a treasure because they give us just a little bit of insight. And while my
Hannah's school assignment to compile a poetry anthology gave us a little window into what she was thinking during her battle with glioblastoma brain cancer. It's my privilege to share a few of those poems today. Thank you for joining me for
One of the things I dreaded most after Hannah went to Heaven was the chore of cleaning out her locker at school ... but one of the treasures we found inside was a special blessing.Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While

Do you remember being a child alone in your bedroom at night? I remember that I always had to sleep with my door open ... I felt so alone in the darkness if my door was shut. I think I found a lot of comfort in just hearing my parents' voices
Today's episode includes two more of my favorite quotes from Randy Alcorn's book, "If God is Good." I highly recommend you get your own copy, available from Randy's website by clicking HERE or on Amazon. Thank you for joining me for another b
