Many of us are parents whose children are on summer break. Five of my kids just wrapped up their first-ever year of school. They finished 10th, eighth, second, and kindergarten/first grades.

White matter clinic appointments feel the most complex and exhausting appointments we have in this family. These appointments have multiple specialists in and out in a short period of time with an overwhelming load of information and recommendations. So on December 6, 2019, when the genetics part team explained my child’s whole exome sequencing (WES) results, I am sure I missed some of what they said. I was surprised they found anything at all — we had already hit the “rare disease jackpot” several times in our home, and how many times can lightning strike in the same place?
