When COVID-19 took the world by storm, families started sheltering in place and social distancing to keep their families safe.
While it's an uncomfortable change, there's a strange sense of relief knowing that everyone else is in the same situation.
But what if you were the only family that had to isolate? What if you were the only ones who had to cancel birthday parties, family gatherings, and think twice before visiting the grocery store.
In early 2017, the Burgeson family found themselves in this scenario after their oldest daughter underwent a bone marrow transplant from their youngest daughter.
In this interview, Kim Vargas interviews Lex Burgeson about her family's incredible journey with self-isolation, because of this life-threatening disease has lead to deeper connections and richer relationships and a life full of hope.
