Give it to God
During this episode, I interview my cousin, Misti, who is a 22-year leukemia survivor.  Misti was told she would never have kids, but she now has a health 13-year old son.  We also discuss Misti's miscarriage prior to getting pregnant with her son. I encourage everyone to visit http://join.bethematch.org/survivor to find out more about becoming a bone marrow donor. To donate to Misti's Light the Night Page, please visit https://pages.lightthenight.org/txg/Houston19/MRoussell-Vidrine.
