"He just can't really do much. It’s just another thing I have to deal with because he's at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers or struggles to walk anywhere but I love him and I'm going to help him through this."
Katie had previously explained his health was really serious as she admitted they had turned to the doctors for support.
Speaking about his health, she had said: "It's really, really serious and life-changing for Harvey. He's at risk of a heart attack and because of his condition, he's not getting any smaller. He's putting on weight. It doesn’t matter what we do.
"He can't put his shoes on without sweating. He can't walk far because he gets out of breath. It's because of all the weight. So the doctors are doing it to give him a better, longer life, and for his health."
Katie described his Prader-Will syndrome as "cruel" and admitted it can be "hard work".
She said: "It's a cruel and horrible illness where he feels hungry all the time - and if he doesn't get food, he gets angry. It's hard work. He'll smash things up if you say no. I've had to re-plaster my walls because he'll bash holes in them with his head."
Katie recently took Harvey back to college, but admitted it was a feat to get him back there as he was upset about going.
She said: "It's always hard taking Harvey back to college," as she says: "Harvey's upset, aren't you Harv? It's okay." Talking to camera, she then added: "Now that was very difficult, it was really upsetting. Harvey just did not want to go back to college ...
"I'm surprised I've still got a car left, he was literally gonna go for the car. It is so sad when your son just doesn't wanna go to college and just wants to be with you all the time. That's why I can't wait for him to come home near us but the place we have got for him is not ready yet - maybe in May. So yeah, it is heartbreaking."
