An Inspiring Story: Doctors Once Doubted Her Survival, But She Is Now Thriving at 20

When Alex Simpson was born in 2005, her parents believed they had welcomed a healthy baby girl. Like many new parents, Shawn and Lorena Simpson were filled with excitement, hope, and dreams for their daughter’s future.

However, everything changed during a routine medical appointment when Alex was about two months old. During that visit, doctors discovered something deeply concerning that would alter the course of her life and her family’s future.
