Alex’s journey is a bit different than his peers. At 34 weeks, an ultrasound picked up irregularities in his heart, indicators of a genetic disorder called Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. TSC causes tumors to grow in the body’s major organs and is the leading known genetic cause of epilepsy and autism, with almost half of all those affected on the spectrum. To say we were afraid is an understatement.

Shannon Griffiths: Current Westview Parent 2014-present
|
Our family’s journey began six years before we found Westview. My husband, Ray, and I had plans for our family. We wanted several kids close in age, and we knew our family was going to be different and special: we were going to have all girls. Ray and I both come from families with many boys, and we knew something different was in store. So, we got married. And, we quickly had three beautiful, healthy, amazing... boys! While we did not get the prediction of daughters right, we were spot on with different and special.
