Mia's story: Williams Syndrome 'a blessing' for one Red Sox family

Ken Rosenthal, Fox Sports reporter, wore a WS necktie at Game 1 of the World Series this past Tuesday. He wrote about his friend and Red Sox scout Amiel Sawdaye's daughter Mia, and her diagnosis 2 and a half years ago.

Mia Sawdaye was born on Jan. 16, 2013. As expected, she went right to the NICU. “She didn’t look abnormal at all. There was no sense that she was any different,” Amiel recalls. “But as we were sitting in the NICU, they sent a geneticist down. And the geneticist said to us that she basically had aortic stenosis, a thickening of the aorta. That’s typically a tell-tale sign of a lot of kids with Williams Syndrome.”
