Tiffany and Richard Everett join Chris and Christy for a conversation about their son Israel's diagnosis of mixed phenotype acute leukemia, which is a really rare form of leukemia. They talk about the challenges of Israel having a rare form of childhood cancer along with autism. They share how Israel knew something was wrong and pushed them to get to the ER, and how quickly his diagnosis came once they got to the hospital. They relate the unique challenges that come with managing Israel's behaviors due to his autism, along with the medicine side effects, but also how his personality and positive attitude kept them going. They share specific examples of how they saw God at work throughout the experience, and they explain how Israel's allergic reaction to one of the medicines led to them getting to be a part of a research study that will help others in the future. They close by sharing some of the wise advice a doctor gave them about parenting a child with cancer.
