Jase and Missy Robertson from “Duck Dynasty” have a daughter named Mia who had her 14th surgery.
Their daughter is now recovering at home.
Since her birth in 2004, she has undergone several operations.
This week on his podcast “Unashamed,” Jase Robertson gave listeners an update on his daughter’s health together with his father Phil, and brother Alan.
She’s turned a corner,” the loving father stated.
Jase said, “Everything seems great, seems to be fine,” when asked how she was doing on her breathing.
“Surgery went a little longer than expected, but she is home and recovering,” he told podcaster listeners. “Thank you for praying for her and for our family. She is a champion!”
Missy Robertson opened up about her anxiety regarding the surgery on Instagram.
“People ask me, ‘How many more surgeries does Mia have left?'” Missy wrote ahead of surgery on July 8. “The answer is always, ‘We just don’t know.'”
Mia Robertson announced in a more upbeat social media post that she was 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,” she declared.
Mia Robertson has been making her own decisions since her thirteenth operation in the spring of 2021, and her mother, Missy Robertson, admits that she is still getting used to this.
“Since she is 18 now, she is taking the lead in all the discussions and medical forms. It’s been a little strange,” Missy Robertson wrote. “But it’s just another reminder to lean on the Lord and that I’m not in control.”
Missy Robertson, who has three biological children and one adopted child with her husband, told The Christian Post that she and her husband think that their family’s suffering over their daughter’s illness has not been in vain.
“Looking back, especially over the last couple of years, we definitely see reasons for Him allowing us to go through this and allowing Mia to go through the pain and the challenges that she has in her life,” she said.
“She wants to help other people,” she added. “To me, that speaks not only about greatness about her, nor an individual, but about the greatness of our God to see something in a child, long before she was born, that could help influence people and to bring them closer to Him. Who am I to ask that about Him?”
In order to ensure that all children are happy, Mia Robertson established the Mia Moo Fund.
Cleft lip and palate are birth defects that happen when the lips and roof of the mouth do not fuse together correctly during pregnancy.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in every 1,600 babies in the US is thought to be born with a cleft lip and palate. About 1 in 2,800 pregnancies result in a baby being born with a cleft lip in addition to a cleft palate. In the United States, one in 1,700 infants is born without a cleft lip but with a cleft palate.
“One of the functions of the Mia Moo Fund is to spread awareness of the cleft lip and palate journey,” Missy Robertson said in an earlier interview. “The other one is to help with medical funds for the parents and the families living right here in America.”
