| 0:00.0 | The battle starts now. Now is when we need your prayers. We needed them before, but we really need them now. When you hear this podcast episode releasing on Wednesday morning, as we always do, things will be getting |
| 0:22.5 | very real over here. For those of you just joining us, my daughter was having headaches, |
| 0:27.9 | nausea dizziness, was diagnosed with a tumor. Turns out that tumor is a type of brain cancer |
| 0:34.1 | called medeloblastoma. She had a 10-hour brain surgery involving four neurosurgeons |
| 0:39.5 | on October 6th. And since then, we've been in this waiting period before we start chemo |
| 0:47.0 | and radiation. But chemo and radiation and that kind of treatment is where the battle really |
| 0:53.0 | begins. And that is also probably where the |
| 0:55.5 | hardest parts are going to begin. So probably really, as you hear this, we will probably be |
| 1:03.4 | having some tough days. We're recording this a couple days earlier. We will have moved down to Houston |
| 1:09.1 | in our temporary quarters there. By that point, |
| 1:12.5 | the adults are going to switch back and forth of who is in Houston and who is at home in |

| 1:24.6 | You know how hurricanes are? It's like you get pummeled. And then there's the |
| 1:28.6 | eye where you're like, oh, it's, you know, this is, this is all right. And then you get pummeled again |
| 1:32.1 | from a different direction. That's what cancer treatment is like. I am learning. So we need your |
| 1:38.3 | prayer. So we're going to talk more on this episode about what's going on, how we are handling things. At some point, this podcast |
| 1:48.0 | might get back to our normal topics, but today is not that day because there's still a lot going |
| 1:52.5 | on with this whole situation. So I'm going to keep you updated on that. We did the test results |
| 1:59.7 | that I was talking about not having |
| 2:01.1 | last week. We have those test results now, so we will talk about that. And some surprising supporters |
| 2:09.4 | of us, I'll get to that. We, I mean, you know, yeah, we just, all sorts of people are coming out of the woodwork to support us. |
| 2:23.3 | All sorts of people are. |
