God, Make Me What Mom Needs Me To Be

from Healing with Dr. Newman · host Dr. Sherika Newman

What do you do when the doctors give your mother less than a 1% chance of survival and your faith says otherwise?In this episode of Healing with Dr. Newman, Dr. Sherika Newman sits down with her longtime friend Bo to talk about the hardest season of his life: watching his mother and best friend, go from prolonged post operative recovery to kidney failure to and ICU admission to to septic shock with three organ systems failing. Bo opens up about the moment He got the message no one wants to get, the prayer that changed how he showed up as a caregiver, and the tiny words from his mother, "I'm gonna be okay" that became the turning point in a fight doctors didn't think could be won.This is a raw conversation about the collision of medicine and faith, what it really means to advocate for a loved one in the ICU, why it's so hard for caregivers to accept help, and what healing actually looks like when it's not just physical. If you've ever cared for a sick parent, sat in a hospital room not knowing what to pray for, or wondered how faith and medicine can work together instead of against each other, this episode is for you.🎙️ Healing with Dr. Newman — new episodes every month.
