Ever wondered just how impactful trauma can be on the brain, regardless of its source? Join us on Murders to Music as we unravel the universal nature of trauma through our deeply personal journey. We start with a harrowing chapter from 2005, where my wife and I faced an unimaginable crisis during her pregnancy. Discover how a life-threatening complication escalated into a dramatic helicopter transfer to Anchorage, Alaska, and the emotional rollercoaster that followed when our unborn son's survival hung in the balance.
Our story continues with the miraculous journey of our son, Justus, who was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). From makeshift medical transport solutions in Alaska to specialized care at Emanuel Hospital in Portland, witness the extraordinary challenges we faced. We delve into the ongoing struggles with Justus' developmental delays and health issues, and you'll have the chance to meet Justus himself as he prepares to share his unique perspective. Through his words, we'll explore how growing up with CDH shaped his life, from hospitalizations to the impact of his condition on his physical and mental health.
In this emotional episode, we also focus on the profound mental health challenges stemming from prolonged hospital stays, particularly during the isolating months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hear firsthand about Justus' battles with chronic blockages and underdeveloped lungs, and the pivotal role key medical professionals played in his journey. We'll also touch on how these experiences have influenced his career aspirations, shifting from nursing to EMS and firefighting. This heartfelt narrative underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope, courage, and shared stories.
