You might be the most calm, centered, passive person in the world, but find out your child is being attacked and your Mama Bear instincts kick in. You stand up tall, you don your SuperMom cape and you MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
Just ask Sandie Haskins – this week’s WhyMomsMatter highlighted mom.
Three years ago next month, Sandie Haskins and her family were given devastating-knock-the-wind-out-of-you-news. Sandie’s youngest son, Kyler, was diagnosed with brain cancer. Just 5 years old at the time, the doctors delivered a grim prognosis. While this cancer typically allows for a 70-80% survival rate, Kyler’s disease was a ‘fast-growing aggressive type’ that might not even respond to treatment. He was given a 10-40% chance of beating the cancer.
Sandie asked the doctors how many kids they had treated with Kyler’s form of the disease who had survived.
None.
And so began Sandie’s journey to save her child through prayer, nutrition and supplements. (In addition to traditional treatment of chemo and radiation.)
Sandie and her family received emails, notes and verses that helped to guide them through the challenges of this time.
Listen to WhyMomsMatter on Blog Talk Radio, Friday at 12:30Pst/2:30CST to learn how Sandie helped to beat the odds and save her son’s life.
Kyler is now 8 years old, and as of his most recent MRI on March 3rd, he is cancer free. This leaves him to be a child, to be a little brother to 10 year old, Kendrick and to be the son Sandie and her husband simply refused to lose.
It is easy to recognize a little of ourselves in Sandie….even if you haven’t dealt with the type of circumstances she faced. In addition to her Mommy duties – Sandie has her own business – My Mosiac Memories - photo books that allow you to capture the most special moments. The enjoyment she received from her business rapidly became a passion after Kyler was diagnosed and she recognized how important it would be to have photos of Kyler if they couldn’t tackle his disease the way they hoped.
Moms Matter because they will do anything they can to protect their children.
