Elser, a retired federal government scientist, tells the outlet she was not intending to move to Latronico until she witnessed her son’s severe respiratory issues improve on the first night of their visit. In addition to his respiratory issues, Kenny is nonverbal and has “severe developmental delays and allergies,” per the outlet. GettyBecause of this, Elser tells CNN Travel that she knew she had to make Latronico her permanent home. She’s currently in the process of finishing up renovations on the property, per CNN. “People seem more satisfied with their life,” she tells the outlet, adding, “We are happy with our calm and routine life.”
