Episode 2 - Honey Toast

In this episode, Emma and Pete pick up the story the morning of Pete’s spinal surgery — with hope of a quick recovery and even “honey toast” by his bedside.

But reality was far harsher. What followed were three confronting weeks in ICU: breathing tubes, relentless procedures, infections, collapsed lungs, and the emotional toll of watching loved ones walk into a room heavy with fear.

Through humour, honesty, and raw detail, Pete and Emma share the vulnerability of surviving ICU, the importance of advocacy, and the small moments of humanity that helped them endure.
