Edmunds said that while raising a child with cerebral palsy does have its share of challenges, the people who have supported her and her family have been an absolute blessing.

"We've always been surrounded by what we call 'Atti's Entourage,'" she said. "Teams of nurses and therapists and social workers who help us get him the care he needs, the equipment he needs, who have taught us how to parent to his needs. Most moms don't get that kind of support, and the value of that can't be overstated."
