Join Rachel for part 2 of this episode series that follows a mother’s journey in finding a diagnosis and answers for her daughter’s health crisis. In this week’s episode we will jump back into Rachel and Regina Caves conversation. As a recap, in episode 5 we listened to Regina as she discovered her daughter, Kaci, has a rare neurological disorder, Rasmussen’s Encephalitis. Kaci would undergo a highly profiled surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital with one of the world’s top neurosurgeons, Dr Ben Carson. During the 12-hour surgery half of her brain was removed! In this episode Regina discusses the long recovery process and Kaci also joins to give a word of encouragement to those listening.
