In this episode, Ashley Watson shares her family's journey to wholeness. When Ashley's son, Jase, was unexpectedly born with a rare craniofacial condition called called Apert Syndrome, she was stunned and so were the doctors. From that moment on, they spent 6 weeks in the NICU, were life-flighted from Missoula to Seattle where Jase would undergo his first of almost 20 surgeries while there. Since then, Jase and his older sister, Scarlett have both been diagnosed with autism and ADHD. Jase just celebrated his 6th birthday and although this family has had to endure some serious pain, they've also learned what it means to lean on each other and appreciate one another. Ashley, along with her husband Nate have seven children between the two of them and have learned to embrace all that comes with loving what she calls their "giant, chaotic, loving family."
