What do you do when your child's life depends on a single medical device?

Adrianna opens up about the trauma of watching her daughter code, the emotional toll this journey has taken on her family, how writing became a lifeline, and why faith and community have carried them through the darkest moments. She also shares what it means to fight for a 'normal' childhood for Abigail in the middle of extraordinary medical challenges. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in fear, uncertainty, and exhaustion, hope can still take root.
