Myles Was Here To Teach Us
Manage episode 424668264 series 3294266
Losing a child is heartbreaking. Ashley Genelin lost her son Myles when he was just 3 years old. He was diagnosed with cardiofasciocutaneous syndrome or CFC. They did their best to keep him at home as long as possible, even when caring for Myles was like running an ICU. Make-A-Wish allowed them to take this mini-ICU on the road so that Myles could enjoy being with their extended family and the great outdoors. The memories built in this medical camper still serve to connect the rest of the family with Myles.
Ashley has leaned into all of this and now serves CFC community full-time. She was a member of the Board of CFC International and now is on staff. She hopes that sharing her story will make this easier for other families and will lead to changes in how the world manages rare syndromes like CFC.
