#146 - Choices in the Unknown
Have you ever had to make a Sophie’s Choice? What feelings intrinsically come along with being forced to choose one essential life necessity over another? Louise delves deep into the experience through personal journal notes and the teachings of grief in the face of impossible choices. She shares shocking information about what it takes to wean off a ventilator. And she poses a provocative challenge to the physical rehab teams. You will also hear from Margaret Apple, a mom at the Shepherd Center at the same time Louise and Archer were there, and her recollections of her time of great uncertainty about the future of her son. Join Louise as she explores the moments that allowed her to step back and see the broader picture and gain new insights into what is possible.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Margaret Apple, a mother of a son who had suffered a traumatic brain injury around the same time as Archer’s injury who was also a patient at the Shepherd Center. Her happenstance connection to Louise allowed both to open space to the grieving process and to be vulnerable about their doubts and uncertainties.

#144 - Margaritas for Trauma Healing
Sometimes blessings and support come in the most unexpected forms, and from the most unlikely sources. A phone call in the middle of the night, or a fast-food frozen margarita with near-strangers – this might be all we need to remember we are not alone in the journey. Join us again while we continue the journey at the Shepherd Center, where you will hear sage advice from other SCI families along the way, like Kelly Sydnor, whom you heard a wise text from back in Episode 15. Guide your spirit to a place of rest as you learn about the importance and power of receiving care and support from people who have been in similar circumstances. Your Blink of an Eye Family is here to lend you a hand too.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Kelly Sydnor, a fellow mother of a son who has tetraplegia. Thanks to a surprise connection of an old college friend of Louise’s, Kelly, a then stranger, reached out to Louise in her crisis as way of giving back in gratitude to those who helped her and her son navigate the quadriplegia path. She offered Louise a guiding hand along the arduous path of negotiating through the medical sphere while at the Shepherd Center based on her own similar experiences. She is now a dear friend of Louise, as well as a wonderful source of advice and wisdom for Mom’s of kids with SCI.

#142 - I Want To Breathe On My Own
Trauma stories are full of ups, downs and flashbacks. Today, we want to bring the Blink of an Eye story back to Day 51 at the Shepherd Center. Join us for a moment of rest, as Louise recaps and reminiscences about coming back to the rehabilitation hospital room and the uncertainty which lingered around their stay. Hard realizations of change are accompanied by slow acceptance and mournful, necessary tears. Hear from those who eased the unsettling experience, including powerful songs and short escapes from the constant alarms of monitors. We hope this episode touches you as it touched us, and that your moment of rest is restorative and clarifying for your journey. Sending love.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Dr. Angie Arnold, an adult psychiatrist whose practice is comprised of women patients in Atlanta, Georgia. Hear how Louise and Angie met, and how their friendship grew during Archer’s time in the Shepherd Center. Listen in for Angie’s observations and how she and Louise created brief moments of normalcy amidst deep grief and uncertainty.

#140 - Birth Memories with James Radde
As humans, we are inherently curious about how we came into this bright and complex world. More often than not, we rely on stories from our family or haphazard, poor-quality videos taken after our births in the delivery room. Occasionally, we are even left wondering with seemingly no information at all. If only there were a way we could remember what it was like actually to exit the womb and enter the world. Well, some people do remember, and these are “birth memories.” They are quite extraordinary. Listen in to this Trauma Healing Learning for ways in which you may still recall your birth memories or for ways gently to ask a young child what their experience was like. Louise and James Radde, a Jesuit Priest, will take you on a story-filled journey, which describes the elusive subject of memory, healing past trauma, power currency, generational trauma and more. You don’t want to miss this rare opportunity for conversation about deep matters of the heart and social topics that receive very little attention for the perpetuation of a legacy of societal trauma. Join our Blink of an Eye family in exploring new, ground-breaking pathways for healing.

#139 - How Disability Shifts Perspectives
The process of changing your worldview is never easy. Introspection is not often a comfortable process, but then again, change never really is for many of us, and yet it’s change that keeps us growing, keeps us living. If you’ve ever experienced a transformation of perspective, you know what it can be like to reflect, channel empathy and even feel a little embarrassment for your past self. Don’t go it alone. Join Louise in her journey of how disability shifted her perspective from Baltimore to Shepherd, to Disneyworld and back again, all in under 48 hours. Follow along on the flight of a lifetime, as told by Louise’s Personal Journal Notes and a Family and Friends Update. You also won’t want to miss a special gift and why it was such a surprise from a litigation lawyer.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Judy Condliffe, an attorney mediator in Baltimore, MD who had attended Louise’s 40 Hour Certified Mediation Courses many years before Archer’s injury as a tough litigation lawyer turned mediator who gifted Louise a hand-made, knitted blanket when she heard the news. Judy, a professed Atheist had knitted into the blanket for Louise the “Archer Strong” letters, a row of hearts, a row of crosses. Listen in to Judy and Louise’s subsequent conversation about faith, art and goodness for a touching moment of inclusivity and connectedness for all of us.

#138 - Nutritional Response Testing for Trauma Healing and SCI with Dr. Mary Ann Ley
What if there were a way to know which healing supplements your body liked and disliked? It would be invaluable for the healing process, as well as overall body health. You could avoid substances that may slow your body’s recovery from trauma. Well, nutritional response testing is a way to bridge this tricky gap between the mind and body. It can even allow patients to identify specific organs suffering from trauma, to discern certain foods, objects and words that resonate with the body’s healing and more. In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Mary Ann Ley, a practitioner trained in the art of nutritional response testing and chiropractic medicine, among a host of other healing methods. Join Louise as you walk along the path of relational wanderings with a clinician and her patient, as they share trauma healing wisdom, including birth stories, scar treatment and indirect testing for those with quadriplegia. Yes, that's right. Tune in for the miraculous ways in which another person can even become a conduit for someone with paralysis, so that they may be able to experience the benefits of nutritional or muscle response testing too.

#137 - Going Home Part 2
The feeling of coming home after you’ve been away at battle is like a warm sensation of solid safety. Coming home is also a reminder of what it is like to be seen, to be known as who you are, and to be reminded of the lives you’ve touched and the lives that touch you back. It can also be a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, as coming home isn’t always stress-free. Join Louise in the second part of her heart-warming, yet heart-breaking, return home and hear from the people who help her achieve solace in a number of different ways. You’ll also experience what an established personal care team can look like, as having one is often crucial to the trauma healing process. Warm hugs, a place to break down, watching a water lily bloom and getting a great haircut are all healing experiences. You'll hear about muscle response testing too, and its role in restoring the body to good health. Recovering from trauma is a personal journey, and it’s all about what feels right for you. We hope these Blink of an Eye examples grasp you by the hand and lead you down your own path of healing and refortification.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Ellen Webb, a long-time neighbor, friend and “sister,” as Louise describes in the first part of Going Home. Ellen was on a walk at the time of Louise’s arrival to Baltimore, and she offered heartwarming support during what was an emotional return to the Senft family home.
Sue Ebert, Louise’s hairdresser and a member of her healing circle. Sue shares her memories of a particularly impactful appointment with Louise, and she also discusses the powerful healing elements of human touch.
Dr. Mary Ann Ley, a trained Chiropractor and Nutritional Response Testing practitioner and part of Louise’s healing circle in Baltimore whom she returned to during the intense ICU days. Listen in to Dr. Ley’s companion Trauma Healing Learning interview to learn about the body’s wisdom to let you know what is not good for you by testing the muscles, and to hear first hand accounts of the power of the healer’s intention.

#136 - How Dads Can Support Trauma Healing by Forming a Yard Brigade with Jim Hebert
Most of us have known a family in medical crisis. However, what we don’t always know is how we could possibly help a family experiencing major grief and loss. This Trauma Healing Learning details how to create a network of support for families in need. Learn how to appoint “Quarterbacks” to specific tasks, as well as the value of a central communication system, “Point Persons” and how to avoid overwhelming those volunteering. If you’re a hard-working and yard-working Dad, consider pitching in by making the outside of someone’s home look like a beautiful trauma healing sanctuary. No act of kindness is insignificant, and yard work is sometimes overlooked. Your home is a sanctuary, and it can look like one too. Love and beauty can help heal heartbreaking trauma. Join Louise in her emotional recollection of the time a dear friend, Jim Hebert, performed this gardening kindness, along with a brigade of Archer’s Army.

#135 - Going Home Part 1
Welcome to Episode 12… and welcome home. This two-part segment of the Blink of an Eye story details the behind-the-scenes fear and insecurity Archer and Louise were facing at the Shepherd Center in more detail than ever before. The foreboding of an overstayed welcome begins to set in, and you’ll experience heartbreaking as well as uplifting wonderings. Most importantly, hear what Louise was unable to share at the time, including texts, work and family stress, anxieties about going home and more. In this episode, Blink of an Eye reaches new heights of truth and authenticity with Louise’s “Personal Journal Notes.” These are entries written in real time by Archer’s beside, usually in the soft, nighttime glow of hospital monitors, which Louise never included in the Archer Blogs for reasons you will hear about. You’ll hear some surprises as well as ways that you might create a homecoming for your friends in crisis.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Ellen Webb, a long-time neighbor, friend and “sister,” as Louise describes in this first part of Episode 12. Ellen was on a walk at the time of Louise’s arrival to Baltimore, and she offered heartwarming support during what was an emotional return to the Senft family home.
Jim Hebert, a great neighbor, a father of three and a dear friend. Jim was a part of the yard brigade that kept the Senft house a beautiful home during Archer’s time in hospital care.

#133 - Let’s Take a Summer Pause for SCI
Summer is a time of traveling, relaxation and recreational activity. It is also a time for increased Spinal Cord Injury: boating, diving, swimming and motor vehicle accidents. 80% of SCI accidents happen when we are just living our lives, recreating, vacationing and on sports fields. Let’s take a pause to send our love to those whose lives have been impacted by life-changing SCI. This special episode raises awareness for SCI tragedies in the hope of preventing future injury. Join Louise to learn about the cutting edge work of the Blink of an Eye 501(c)(3) non-profit, and its parent group, I C THAT, in their advocacy to help families and medical teams in the critical first 30 days of SCI injury. This episode also pauses for the opportunity to take a moment to acknowledge any unresolved trauma in your life and to consider ways to begin or continue your healing journey. There is no specific timeline for trauma healing, but there is always now for a new beginning. You are never broken; you are always whole. We are all in this together.

#132 - An Inside Look at Cardiac Complications in Spinal Cord Injury and Bedside Consultations with Dr. Mohamed Elnahal
In this Trauma Healing Learning, we welcome back Dr. Mohamed Elnahal from Episode 10 of Blink of an Eye. His insights on doctor-patient connection worked wonders for our understanding of how the medical system can improve its support of SCI patients and families. Listen in for how you, as an advocate for your loved one, can take a step in the right direction of improving this communication in the ICU. Join Louise and Dr. Elnahal in discussing the complexities of how the spinal cord injury and cardiac spheres intersect. When might a spinal cord injured patient need a pacemaker and why? You’ll even hear an original, authentic unedited recording from Dr. Elnahal’s meeting with Louise in 2015, bedside to Archer. Listen in for a genuine peek into the sounds of Archer’s healing sanctuary, as well as the chaos of the ICU soundscape and the spa noise attempts to neutralize the environment. Louise and Dr. Elnahal also explore how the modern-day COVID-19 pandemic severely affects patient care and relationships in the current hospital setting. Discover ways around the roadblocks to healing and find the path to patient support.
