The mother of five captioned the picture: "Harv as a baby just found these pics. I am so proud of the person he has become. For any of my followers bringing up a child with complex needs, I admire you. It's not easy, but it is totally worth it. To who has never been there for him just remember it's never too late. The door is always open.."

At birth, Harvey was diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder Prader-Willi Syndrome, among other health complications including being blind due to Septo-optic dysplasia. He is also autistic and has an underactive thyroid and suffers from diabetes.
