Meet Ashlyn, momma to her sweet and smiley boy, Myles. Myles was born with a rare disease that effects his limbs and other parts of his body. These symptoms are known as VACTERL association.

As a self-proclaimed “planner,” Ashlyn talks about the difficulties of having so many unknowns during her pregnancy and how she coped… and is coping… with their journey. She attributes her strong partnership with her husband and prayer as key components to getting through difficult times.
