He's unable to walk or talk and he's not mobile and non-verbal. He needs care 100% per cent of the time. While it's been tough on the whole family, one bright spot in their lives is music and how much Elio loves his music sessions. ‘Beautiful Boy' by John Lennon is a song mum Kate has been singing to Elio since he was born. It's a song for good days and bad days and for Kate but seeing Elio react to her singing is one of her greatest pleasures.
