When Falesha was 37-weeks pregnant, her doctor found a few concerning birth defects in Cali that pointed to a rare syndrome called Pfeiffer Syndrome. From there, it was a flurry of preparation for her arrival.

In this episode, Falesha shares how much their lives have changed over the 16 months of her life, and the ways she became an expert of her daughter’s syndrome to help her have the best care possible.
