Description

After a short hiatus, Ryan and Jill return to share an in-depth update on life with their one-year-old son, Elliot, who has classic galactosemia. They walk through their months-long journey applying for and securing early intervention services in California—what worked, what took far too long, and how they successfully advocated for speech therapy before the typical 18-month threshold. Along the way, they discuss the challenges and wins of Elliot’s first year with solid foods, navigating dietary restrictions, and discovering his first words.
