Throughout several seasons of the MTV series, viewers have followed Leah Messer’s fight for her daughter Ali. It became clear early on that Ali developed slower than her twin sister Aleeah, and her mom sought help from doctors and specialists to figure out what was wrong.
In 2014, little Ali was finally diagnosed with a rare muscle disease, which unfortunately worsened as she grew.
”It is a degenerative progressive disease. So we don’t know what the future really looks like. But I know that we’re going to enjoy every single moment now and continue to make memories and make the best of it,” Leah said.
Now, years later, Ali, who is now 15, has become much stronger both physically and mentally. She has a strong commitment to equine therapy, which Leah believes has been key to her mental strength. Ali’s growth and weight curves have also improved, giving her hope for the future.
What a wonderful family! Your love, strength, and togetherness are truly inspiring. We wish you all the best and happiness in the future.
