Believe We Will Survive

Info About Our Show & Who We Are

What is our show about?

Believe We Will Survive is our podcast where we share our story of surviving a 5 + year medical saga that started in March of 2020 (right at the beginning of the pandemic) and included numerous stints in the ICU, medically induced comas, ICU delirium(s), 4 major surgeries (numerous smaller surgeries / procedures), and over 400 days hospitalized (comprising of lengthy stays in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024).

About Ken

Ken shares his journey as the patient / survivor. One day a "healthy" 47 year old and the next being rushed to the hospital with insane pain caused by pancreatitis (necrotizing).

About Melissa

Melissa shares her journey as the caregiver / loved one who shouldered the incredible burden of having Ken locked away at the hospital during the covid lock down for 3.5 months and then becoming the caregiver who kept Ken alive through each round of illness and surgeries that followed.
