While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss Bonus 135 | Middle of the Night Weigh-Ins
Hospital life is strange. You would think that the doctors and nurses want the sick person to rest ... but no ... you would think wrongly. All through the day -- and all through the night -- there are blood pressure checks, antibiotic infusions, and temperature measurements. There are even people who come in and clean the room during the night -- they flip on the lights, sweep the floor, bang the trash cans around, etc. And of course, there are the beeping IV monitors when a little air gets in the line. But the strangest thing Hannah was asked to do was climb out of bed at some wee hour of the morning (every morning) and stand on a scale so they could check her weight. I never could figure out why it was necessary to do that while the rest of the world was sleeping.
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.
