While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

We arrived at Arkansas Children's Hospital on Monday morning all prayed up and psyched up for Hannah's MRI. We had no idea we would be admitted to the hospital instead.
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought ... and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.

Bonus 124 | Cue the Scanxiety

Fifty-two radiation sessions completed. Seven months of chemotherapy treatments in the rear view mirror. Countless needle sticks. Multiple bags of blood products on board. A bald head and an extremely sore throat to show for it. And one MRI scan which would reveal whether or not any of these treatments had had any effect against the tumors in Hannah's brain and spine. And we had to wait through the weekend to get it done ... Cue the scanxiety!

Bonus 126 | Room Service

While we were still somewhat surprised to be hospitalized, we adjusted quickly to our new surroundings. This was Hannah's first hospitalization since her brain surgery in February ... which is pretty amazing in and of itself, considering all the treatments she'd been through. Arkansas Children's Hospital does an amazing job of making their patients as comfortable as possible. Hannah particularly enjoyed the room service menu ... She could order anything from the menu at pretty much any time of day and they would bring it right to her. She was especially fond of the chicken fingers and the macaroni and cheese. Even with her very sore throat from all the radiation, we were thankful she felt well enough to enjoy the room service!
