Ashlyn and Emery take us with them as they fly from Indiana, United States of America, to London, United Kingdom, for a life-changing procedure.
They are the first American patients to undergo this surgery which is not (yet) offered in the United States. In this episode you will learn the background story of what led Ashlyn and her family to decide to “cross the pond” for their daughter’s medical care.
We discuss the hardships, fears, excitement and worries that go into making such monumental decisions for our kids. We talk about the common barriers to “medical tourism” which the Thompson family face. We launch our trip alongside Ashlyn and Emery as we support them and cheer them on in their journey toward healing.
