Effie came into my life about three weeks ago. Effie is the mother to two children Ezzie, two years old and Ford, four years old. Effie iss the wife of her husband Casey. Settled down on Mercer Island, Life may seem easy on the outside, but Effie is a superwoman.

Effie's Son Ford, has a rare genetic disorder, CTNNB1. Ford spends his days in a wheelchair which we call hiss “wheelie”. A happy boy, constantly giving us a smile, showing us hiss tricks and usually playing with bubbles or a ball, his favorite thing EVER. He seriously does not get bored of it! Although Ford is a happy boy, doesn’t mean it's always easy on his parents. His parents both work around the clock, working for his happiness and health. Constant appointments, worries, therapy and all. They are superheros. Listen to the rest of the episode to hear more in depth about their life and journey with Ford.

You have a purpose, you are wanted, loved, and cared for. You are not fighting your battle alone. You got this! I hope you enjoyed the fourth episode. I'm so happy you're here! Remember to fight for you. All my love, Lily
