Another Grandma and Grandpa Camp was in the books and while Hannah clearly enjoyed the time with her grandparents and cousins, I could tell she was glad to be home. Monday was a clinic day, and her bloodwork revealed a fairly precipitous drop
Sixteen years ago today, Hannah took her ACT test. She had just returned from her "Grandma & Grandpa" Camp week, and was pretty worn out, but she was adamant about taking that test. She had just completed her sophomore year of high school, an
I am pleased to have Joni Robbins as my guest again today. She is the author of "In Grief: A Mother's Fight to Choose Joy", and the mom of two sons, Anson and Ethan. In last week's episode, Joni shared the story of her "gentle giant", Ethan,
I never knew that life with cancer could be so "normal." On the days that Hannah was treatment-free, life seemed to go on as it always had. It was summertime, so we were moving at a little bit slower pace, but there were still school workshop
I'm pleased to welcome Joni Robbins, author of “In Grief – A Mother’s Fight to Choose Joy” to the podcast today! Her son Ethan was a gentle giant and a friend to many, who dreamed of being in law enforcement someday. He died at the age of 17
Round One of Hannah's oral chemotherapy treatments was complete, and it felt good to get it behind us. It had been rough ... no doubt about that ... but we had a nice stretch of treatment-free days ahead of us now before Round Two would begin.
I remember the exact moment my teenage daughter became my hero. She had already been through brain surgery, 33 radiation treatments, and several MRIs. She had begun an oral chemotherapy protocol where she took a dose of a drug called Temodar fo
Robert and Linda Hall are my guests again today, as we continue our conversation about the loss of their only child John to addiction. They talk about how this experience has changed them, and how important it is to look at their grief through
Hannah had finally completed her radiation treatments, triumphantly capped off by an "all clear" MRI report, and our family settled into a much more normal lifestyle. We enjoyed a nice stretch of days where the girls were both attending school
My guests today are Robert and Linda Hall from Auburn, Alabama. The Halls struggled through eight years of infertility before they adopted their only son, John, at four months of age. John was a remarkable child who loved the Lord and loved pe
MRI Day was finally here. Everything felt so surreal as we made our way into the bowels of Arkansas Children's Hospital to the MRI area. There's something very jarring about watching your daughter being strapped down to a narrow table and the
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
