Jersey Shore‘s Jenni Farley – also known as JWoww – has revealed that her young son has a language delay.
The mum-of-two and reality TV star first revealed that her two-year-old son, Greyson Valor, “isn’t speaking” during a season two episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
She also said that he was undergoing therapy three times a week.
Following the emotional moment, which aired on Thursday night in the United States, the 32-year-old took to Instagram to thank her followers for their support.
She posted a photo of herself cuddling up to her son, as well as a video of him climbing onto a chair as he tries to say ‘mama’.
She began her post by saying:
“As a mother, I will go to the moon and back for my kids… no question. I live my life differently because of them.
“To find out Greyson is ‘behind’ or ‘delayed’ crushed me… but only for a moment… that moment came from wanting to have ‘perfect children’ and ‘how could this happen to me?’… but Grey is PERFECT and it CAN happen to anyone.
“I saw that last night when the messages came in by the hundreds.”
She went on to say that she had made the decision share “that side of my family” on the show as she wanted to help anyone else going through similar situation.
She added that Greyson is still in therapy three times a week, but “he’s doing a lot better.”
She wrote:
“We also changed his diet and removed unnecessary preservatives. I’ve had almost every test done you can think of because I’ll never accept that this is best case for Grey…
“I’ll always think outside the box and do anything that will try and help him achieve nothing short of greatness… I don’t sleep much lol.
“He’s my world and I want to give him the best life… because he deserves it.”
She ended the post with a heartfelt message to Greyson and his older sister, Meilani, vowing to “stand by [their] side for eternity.”
