Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Andrea — a board-certified pediatric nurse turned integrative practitioner — for a raw, deeply personal conversation about her family's seven-year journey through PANS/PANDAS. Andrea shares how her daughters were injured at a routine vaccination appointment, how a "divine appointment" led her to the physician who finally diagnosed her daughter, and the long road of therapies, setbacks, and small breakthroughs that followed. 

The conversation turns to what happens to a parent's own nervous system during a child's chronic illness — including the radical, aggressive self-care Andrea had to learn the hard way — and explores the differences in how moms and dads experience that stress. The episode closes with an honest, unfiltered discussion of faith: what it looks like to fall apart, be angry with God, and find your way back to Him in the middle of the storm.
