My Mom Forces Herself to Reflect Back on the Day I Became Blind

About this episode

It's been 18 years since the day I rolled through the Operating Room doors at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando, Florida to have a recently discovered brain tumor removed.

I was just 17 years old and had been given 6 months to live if this brain tumor, a Craniopharyngioma, was not removed. But what came next would reshape not just my life, but the lives of an entire family. Waking from surgery I would be left completely blind.

My mom, Teresa Lowe, joins me in this week's episode to share her perspective on this life-changing event. Our hope is that by my mom sharing her experience that it may in turn help someone else who may be going through something similar.

This week's episode is dedicated to the Pediatric Neuro Surgeon who saved my life, to Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital, to the nurses and staff who cared for me and treated my family with such grace and hospitality, and most of all, to John and his mom.
