Episode 6
When a Child Gets Sick, Part 1, The Fear Nobody Prepares You For
One Saturday morning I noticed bruises all over my son's legs. Not a few here and there. All over them. And I couldn't explain it.
In this episode I take you through the beginning of what became a seven plus month medical journey with my son. The fear that built with every new symptom. The waiting rooms and the blood work and the middle of the night ambulance transfer. And the four days we sat with the possibility that it could be something truly terrible, waiting for bone marrow results with nothing to do but pray.
This one is for every parent who has ever sat in a waiting room hoping and praying for good news. And for every friend on the outside who wanted to show up but didn't know how.
If you found this, it was for a reason. I'm here. And I've got you.
