Kelsey's story - Searching for her son's diagnosis
Description
Meet Kelsey, mom to Nolan, a happy, hilarious, smart little boy. She and her family of 5 live in a small town in Ontario. Nolan is the youngest of her three children and has two older siblings Ella and Colton.
After an eventful pregnancy dealing with a large #subchorionichematoma and eventually bedrest, Nolan was born with an uneventful and smooth delivery.
Shortly after birth, Nolan had trouble breathing and had to be moved to the #NICU. Since that moment, Kelsey has been searching to put the pieces of Nolan's puzzle together. From severe reflux, to hypotonia, rolandic epilepsy, and severe lethargy, she continues to be his advocate and find answers to help him live the fullest life possible.
Kelsey talks about the ups and downs of finding a care team that listens and encourages her to advocate for her son, all the while trying to maintain a sense of normal for her sweet children.
