Mia Robertson, the youngest daughter of Duck Dynasty’s Jase & Missy Robertson, has been born with a condition known as cleft lip and palate, a gap in the upper lip that can involve the gum as well.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shares that about one in every 1,600 babies is born with a cleft lip with a cleft palate in the U.S.
Because of her condition, sweet Mia, who is now 18 years old, has been forced to undergo 13 surgeries, with the 14th taking place just recently. The family truly hopes this would be Mia’s last procedure before her problem is finally solved.
Throughout every surgery, the young girl remains positive. What’s most, she hopes she serves as inspiration for other young children who are born with the same condition. On her own initiative and with the help of her family, Mia established the Mia Moo Fund in order to assist in making certain that each and every child wears a smile on their face.
“One of the functions of the Mia Moo Fund is to spread awareness of the cleft lip and palate journey,” Missy Robertson told Christian Post. “The other one is to help with medical funds for the parents and the families living right here in America.”
On his podcast Unashamed, Jase Robertson shared an update on Mia’s condition and said that his daughter is recovering well.
“She’s doing great. She’s turned a corner,” he said, and then added, “Everything seems great, seems to be fine.”
“Surgery went a little longer than expected, but she is home and recovering,” the loving father told his podcast listeners. “Thank you for praying for her and for our family. She is a champion!”
Before the surgery took place, Missy spoke of her daughter’s condition and explained that she had been constantly asked about the number of procedures Mia would need to undergo in the future. “There is never any other response than ‘We just don’t know,’” Missy said. She then added that they rely on God for assistance. “Since she is 18 now, she is taking the lead in all the discussions and medical forms. It’s been a little strange,” Missy wrote. “But it’s just another reminder to lean on the Lord and that I’m not in control.”
Mia also hopes that she’s at “the finish line.”
“Hopefully the last time I’ll see my doctors in this setting! It’s been a long road but we are at the finish line,” brave Mia said.
The Robertson’s have also been preparing for a new addition to the family as they open the doors to their hearts and home for a child whose mother was unfit to take care of.
We wish Mia speedy recovery.
Woman Finds Diamond Ring On Beach – When Jeweler Sees It, He Tells Her This
A couple is now closer than ever after their misplaced diamond ring was discovered on a nearby beach. This is the tale:
Samantha, who frequents the beach, was strolling down the sun-drenched seashore one day when she happened upon the stunning diamond ring.
She was drawn to the ring right away since it shimmered in the sun’s golden beams. Samantha saw an etching reading “E and J” on the inside of the ring after closely examining it.
Samantha made the decision to take the ring to her neighborhood jeweler, Mr. Dalton, after realizing how emotional it must be for its owner. She was hoping he could help find the diamond’s true owner.
When Mr. Dalton, Samantha’s trusted jeweler, saw the ring, he had an unexpected response. The discovery made him pale, and he looked noticeably scared.
His response surprised Samantha, who was unable to understand why the ring had such a profound effect on him. Samantha was left with a ton of questions after Mr. Dalton suggested they call the police right away.
Mr. Dalton and Samantha brought their concerns to Officer Paula Hawkins at the police station, and she treated the matter seriously. They clarified that the ring was the property of
Mrs. Dalton and was a treasured present that Mr. Dalton personally gave her. Husband of Jennifer Dalton was furious because she had vanished from their lives.
Searching from the shore where the ring was discovered, Officer Hawkins got to work. She looked at security camera footage from a neighboring beach bar and conducted interviews with beachgoers. Officer Hawkins persevered, determined to find Mrs. Dalton, even though at first he was meeting dead ends.
Officer Hawkins made the decision to follow Mrs. Dalton’s path back to the Dalton home from the beach. She saw a woman who looked like Mrs. Dalton on the beach along the way. As she got closer, her heart raced. She was relieved to see that the woman she thought was Jennifer Dalton was indeed unconscious on the beach.
Jennifer clarified that her phone had died after she had taken a nap on the beach and fallen asleep. This clarified her inability to get in touch with anyone. Officer Hawkins offered to drive Mrs. Dalton home, relieved to find her safe.
Mr. Dalton was ecstatic to see his wife safe and well back at the Dalton home. Happy tears streamed down the couple’s faces as they hugged. Mr. Dalton surprised Jennifer with a brand-new, even more exquisite diamond ring that was etched with the words “E and J” to make up for the missing ring.
In a heartfelt moment, Jennifer expressed her forgiveness for misplacing the original ring, and their experience had reinforced and revitalized their love.
We are reminded of the value of cherishing our loved ones and the strength of love by this endearing narrative. The depth of our affection for one another is something that can occasionally be discovered even after losing a priceless item.
