As Alexa prepared for precautionary, additional, in utero photos of her baby's heart, she never could have imagined the drastic turn her family's life would take. This was just the beginning of a journey that would change everything for her family of six. To start, Aliyn was diagnosed with the number one rated birth defect and a genetic makeup that made her truly unique. Aliyn’s mother, Alexa, joins Shannon and Jess to share her story of raising a medically complex child and how this impacts the entire family. Through heart-wrenching, terrifying and touching stories, Alexa shares how her family has grown and evolved in the face of adversity. From navigating medical terminology and understanding the complexities of her daughter's heart condition, to finding the best support for Aliyn, who has also recently been diagnosed with autism, Alexa's journey is one of constant resilience and wisdom. Listeners will be inspired by her strength and determination as she shares the lessons she has learned along the way - From There, To Here.
