  1. Remembering Bobby Walker

    Remembering Bobby Walker

    Bobby Walker was a 20-year kidney recipient, enthusiastic ARORA volunteer and former ARORA employee. Sadly, Bobby passed away earlier in May; a great loss to Bobby’s family, friends and our state. We pay homage to our dear friend and former colleague by the re-airing of a RadiEight podcast recorded with Bobby in 2020. Host Audrey Coleman interviews Bobby Walker. Several years ago, Bobby experienced a fall through a glass table that could have cost him his life. Instead, the fall likely saved his life. While treating his injuries, doctors found something that might not have otherwise come to light. Bobby's kidneys were failing, and he was in need of a transplant.

    Episode #20: Kidney transplant recipient Whittney Edwards

    Doctors told young Whittney's mom that she had a 7% chance of recovery from an aggressive E-coli infection, but Whittney beat the odds. While she recovered from the infection, her kidneys were badly damaged, so she spent the early years of her life in dialysis three times a week at Arkansas Children's. A transplant at age 8 changed her life, and now she is a healthy adult. Host Audrey Coleman speaks to Whittney about her experience.
