AUSTIN (KXAN) - KXAN News had a special guest in the studio Tuesday, talking about a medical condition that can affect a lot of families. 

Vanessa and Joseph Vaughan have two kids, a daughter and son.  Their son, Braxton, has an undiagnosed syndrome that requires him to have a feeding tube. 

He's now 19 months old, and the family is doing well -- thanks to their outside support and outlook on the situation.

Braxton's loving parents have gotten used to feeding him through his tube, and they've made it look easy in the video they created to help out others.

In addition, their blog shares their touching story and takes you through why Braxton needed it in the first place.
