from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

Alexandria Rodts's son Brayton got the stomach flu in February of 2023 which had already affected his family in January. Brayton's symptoms continued well past the normal time for a stomach flu to be an issue, and this was not helped by the fact that all the doctors he went to basically came to the same conclusion that by taking Zofran, he would feel better. 6 months later, in August of that year his diagnosis of ATRT which was so shocking, was finally confirmed at Rady's Children's Hospital in San Diego, thanks to his pediatrician who pushed much harder than others to get Brayton's true issue diagnosed correctly. He was 19 months old at the time of his diagnosis. Brayton is feeling well and doing as well as possible as 2026 is underway.
