Well hello there! It’s been a minute since I’ve wrote our last blog and so much has happened. Not only for Kellan, but a pandemic has come up since then. Duh! Like you didn’t know. I wanted to write a quick update about where Kellan is. I had recently found a journal I started a …

Kellan regressed into autism… which means he did meet all milestones as his doctor expected (even more advanced in some areas) and had a few words before one. Then Kellan lost his speech and some milestones he had already achieved. At 18 months he just up and forgot what breastfeeding was and started screaming bloody …
