Waiting for a diagnosis while watching your child get sicker is an emotional battlefield - one that no parent is ever prepared for. In this deeply personal episode, I share our family’s story through 33 days in four different hospitals across two states, searching for answers as my daughter’s health continued to decline. With cancer mentioned as a possibility multiple times, the waiting felt unbearable. Ultimately we received a rare disease diagnosis, but not without immense fear, exhaustion, and faith-stretching moments.
If you’re a medical mom or dad who’s felt helpless in a hospital room, anxiously awaiting test results, or battling the unknown with your child’s health, this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through our experience, the emotional toll it took, and the lessons I learned along the way. You are not alone in this. Let’s talk about the heartbreak, the hope, and how we keep moving forward - one day at a time.
