"To the ends of the earth," says Emery's warrior mama, Ashlyn Thompson. Thankfully she doesn't have to go that far, but she is preparing to cross the pond to seek her daughter's treatment in London, United Kingdom. Ashlyn opens up to us about this looming trip and her daughter's procedure which is not yet offered in the United States. 

In this episode she shares about the challenges and hurdles she's navigated as she ultimately found and chose this surgical option. She also shines a light on the lack of insurance coverage for out-of-country procedures that are non-emergent. 

In this episode you will: 
- get a front row seat in Ashlyn and Emery's journey to London, U.K.,
- learn how advocacy for our kids often means having the confidence to ask a whole lot of questions,
- gain tips for seeking second opinions like a champ (Ashlyn is the pro!),
- hear Ashlyn's promise to learn more about insurance for out-of-country care,
- learn how you can support Emery and Ashlyn's family as they prepare for a surgery in a different country.
