A Contagious Smile Podcast

Feb 2 2024 • 14 mins

As the sun set on what seemed to be an ordinary evening, Faith's world was turned upside down, leading to a story of survival that defies the odds. Picture a family dinner abruptly interrupted, spiraling into an emergency that challenges a young girl's very existence. We recount how Faith, an extraordinary teenager, emerges from the shadow of multiple organ failure, with an arsenal of fourteen surgeries under her belt, and a kidney failure scare that nearly led to a transplant. In an engaging conversation with Faith, we discuss her unforeseen journey from a dire prognosis to the moment her nephrologist delivered unexpectedly good news, capturing the essence of human resilience and the power of community support.

Laughter, they say, is the best medicine, and Faith surely proves it with a hospital prank that could make even the sternest nurse chuckle. I'll take you behind the scenes of a masterful teenage ruse, involving the entire hospital floor, that turns the anxiety of hospital discharge into a moment of pure comedic relief. Faith's infectious spirit not only brings joy to her father, Michael, but also offers a beacon of hope to listeners. Through an emotional father-daughter bond that only strengthens with each shared challenge, Faith's narrative is not just an account of recovery, but a testament to the love and humor that can carry us through life's toughest trials. Join us for an episode that's as much about the infectious laughter between father and daughter as it is about the strength found in the face of adversity.
