Alejandra, a musical therapist, joins us this week as our guest host! We're tackling a story with darker themes that may not be suitable for all listeners. Susan Blouin, a registered nurse, and her husband Ray were considered pillars of their community for selflessly opening their doors to many children in the foster care system. The Blouins, however, fostered anything but hope and love in their house of horrors. 
As always, we like to end on a lighter note by recognizing a person who exemplifies the good that is happening in the medical community. We're highlighting Alejandra as part of our "Good Nurse" segment for her music therapy work with NICU babies! Check out Alejandra's Fundraiser for NICU Babies!
