Nancy Robey spent 34 years as a Physicians Assistant at Johns Hopkins in Maryland.  Now retired, she has a wealth of experience with pediatric transplant patients. She's here today to offer her tips and best practices to care for them.In the pediatric transplant world, the procedure may be for something other than cancer, and many patients and families don't have the knowledge base that cancer patients do.   Education is so important.Speaking of education, how do you navigate a patient being out of school for so long?  Nancy talks about different strategies she's seen, from private tutors, to virtual classrooms, and more - running through the pros and cons of each.One key is interaction with other children and peers.  Unfortunately, some friends will fade away, but social interaction is vital to a patient in isolation.  This can be achieved through handwritten notes, Zoom and Facetime calls, and even now through video games and social media.Nancy also talks about the hospital room itself.  While each facility has its own rules, she talks about ways to brighten up patients' rooms with pictures, decorations, personal items, and more.At Johns Hopkins in particular, they have a Child Life Services team, offering support to children of all ages.  Your hospital may have something similar.  You can learn more here: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/johns-hopkins-childrens-center/patients-and-families/child-life/Nancy walks us through various aspects of the hospital stay, as well as the isolation period that follows.  It's important not to be disheartened if your patient is re-admitted.  That's often a minor setback and just part of the process.  After all, that's why you're close by!We wrap up with a couple of Nancy's book recommendations, for kids of various ages and their families.For the younger set and families: More Than You Can Handle: A Rare Disease, A Family in Crisis, and The Cutting-Edge Medicine That Cured The Uncureable - https://www.amazon.com/More-Than-You-Can-Handle/dp/0593085914For older kids and young adults: Between Two Kingdoms, a Memoir of a Life Interrupted: https://www.amazon.com/Between-Two-Kingdoms-Suleika-Jaouad/dp/0399588582Other ResourcesNational Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to this season's sponsors:The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, www.lls.orgSanofi: https://www.sanofi.com/

Our great Savior comes through on every word in his promises.

Liz shares that while both she and Sarah embraced gratitude over Thanksgiving, Liz also felt another “g” emotion… guilt! Turns out it's hard to enjoy a few days off when so much work looms on the horizon. One solution? Remember that relaxing now leads to more productivity later. Then, in L v. S (Liz versus Sarah), they debate the merits of sound baths. Liz finds a sound bath more soothing than a massage — Sarah can't stand the high-pitched tone of singing bowls.

In Part 2 of our powerful interview with author Miguel Sancho and his wife Felicia Morton we talk about the myriad decisions that parents raising a child with a rare disease must make. Their son was born with a severe immunodeficiency known as chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).  The decisions range from the ones we cannot imagine having to make to the common decisions we all make. Renowned experts provided input but the decision to take the drastic step of an umbilical stem cell bone marrow transplant fell to them. This forced them to make a series of “life-event” decisions: where to live, career choices, and schooling for their healthy daughter.  Piling these decisions upon each other led to emotional strain which could have led to decision paralysis. They learned that there is a difference between knowing what you have to do, and then actually doing it. We talk about the biases that we all bring to making decisions.  Felicia felt like she could not watch her child go through the procedure until another mom told her, “You can do this. You will do this.”   Miguel just wanted to avoid disruption in their lives.  He had to get past this for them to do what was need.  This couple has dealt with this experience in their own distinct ways. Miguel wrote a book, Felicia started a nonprofit. Control what you can. Get more information. Try to let go of the control. We get a chance to hear more about https://cgdaa.org/ (CGD Association of America), an advocacy that Felicia has started to support families through this forest of decisions.

This week on the "Stories from the Brink" Podcast, Emmy Award-winning television producer Miguel Sancho joins host Maya Browne to talk about his new book "More Than You Can Handle", his riveting tale of the diagnosis and treatment of his infant son's illness.

We have all heard the inspiring stories of a family that suddenly faces the trauma of a rare diagnosis, become advocates for themselves or their child, finds a solution, and celebrate the triumph. This one is different.  Miguel Sancho and his wife Felicia Morton were that family. They became advocates and went on a wild medical adventure. And today, they can celebrate the triumph. However, they have decided to share the harder part of their journey.   Miguel has written an enthralling book entitled More Than You Can Handle: A Rare Disease, A Family in Crisis, and the Cutting-Edge Medicine That Cured the Incurable.   It is the story of a family straining under the weight of their son's diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).  Written in the first-person, Miguel shares his deepest thoughts, fears, and vulnerabilities. He relates the mistakes he made along the way and how he has come to grips with them.  It was wonderful to have Felicia give her angle on some of the stories too. Felicia has used the experience and started a nonprofit https://cgdaa.org/ (CGD Association of America). CGDAA is committed to advocating on behalf of patients, carriers, and families by providing clear, accurate, and independent news and information about CGD and advancing CGD research. During the interview, Miguel and Sanath connect in a way that only rare dads can. Sanath is at one end of the tunnel, filled with little more than hope and drive. Miguel is at the other end of that tunnel, able to provide encouragement and speak of hopes fulfilled.  We highly recommend Miguel's book.  It is extremely well written and the story teaches some important lessons.  It will be available starting March 2. You can order it on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/More-Than-You-Can-Handle-ebook/dp/B089S73XVC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=more%20than%20you%20can%20handle%20miguel%20sancho&qid=1612366808&sprefix=more%20than%20you%20can%20handle%20&sr=8-3&fbclid=IwAR2CdtlBFMMRlc_y9ohuFU87F3n-75K0ZB9XWELcB4Q9qAL7NZEOkAANf6k (More Than You Can Handle)  Support this podcast

In this episode, Bruce and Justin discuss popular Christian cliches and why they're not helpful or biblical. Cliches like, "God will never give you more than you can handle" are not only damaging but also have no grounding in biblical truth.

Today we are hitting another Christian cliche. I'm sure that if you have been a follower of Jesus for any length of time you have heard it said or said it yourself...God will never give you more than you can handle. It is a half truth, but even a half truth is a full lie. We are going to explore this cliche today. The music on the podcast is from John Nugent. John is a Chicagoland area musician who has been a real blessing to Tabor Church. Support the show (http://taborchicago.org/give/)
