In this episode of Disabled Expectations, I sit down with Jeff Weir, a dad whose son Landon lives with Schaaf-Yang Syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition. Jeff opens up about the joys, heartbreaks, and traumatic events their family has faced both in and out of the hospital.
This is a raw, honest, eye opening conversation about parenting through uncertainty, holding on to hope, and finding strength in the middle of unimaginable circumstances. Jeff’s vulnerability will encourage you, challenge you, and remind you that even in the hardest seasons, you’re not alone.
