Hey everybody, welcome to Unlimited Hangout. I'm your host, Whitney Webb. So as many of

you know, or maybe you don't, unless you follow me on Twitter or get the Unlimited Hangout

newsletter, but I've been in the hospital here in Chile with my one and a half year old

since the beginning of June. We're actually still in the hospital. I have a friend watching

him right now so I can get away for a while to record something because obviously I've

had a lot of my mind over the past two plus months. You know, it's been a while and honestly,

you know, after trying to entertain a small child in a confined space for a long time,

doing something like this makes me feel kind of kind of normal again, which is definitely

nice for me in a sense. So I don't want to talk too much about my son's medical situation

and I've sort of explained it in other places, you know, before to an extent. But thankfully,

there is a light at the end of the tunnel, a little bit of uncertainty about the timeline,

that we're hoping to be home finally sometime next month. So a long story short, this whole

experience has changed me, you know, in a lot of ways. It's made me rethink a lot about how

I approach and I guess balance different aspects of my life, including work, of course,

and, you know, pretty much everything. I've thought a lot about healing, obviously. And, you know,

that's part of what I want to talk about today. For the first, you know, couple weeks, I guess,

several weeks maybe, of our stay in the hospital, my son was in a really, really bad way. And he's

definitely out of danger, definitely not the kind he was in for sure. But when he was, you know,

I spent a lot of time, you know, sitting next to him, looking at him, he was in an induced

a coma. He was on life support, you know, so I was thinking about him and his life, the circumstances

that brought him into my life. What could happen, you know, if he doesn't make it home, all, you know,

all sorts of things. And I think, you know, that's pretty normal for any parent in that situation.
