Those of you who don’t know Jack is my 5 year old nephew living in California who I try to visit frequently and always talk about lol. Jack Finally has been diagnosed with what is called Kat6A which is a very rare genetic condition rearranging your gene sequence. This can cause many different problems such as eating difficulties, development delays, speech issues, sleep problems, behavior difficulties. Many of which our JackMan has been suffering with for his whole life. Jack is the strongest, happiest little boy you will ever meet and will show you that even when life puts you down there’s always something to smile about.
