Jase and Missy Robertson’s journey: Overcoming obstacles and finding strength

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.

This Poison Destroys Your Bones, but You Drink It Every Day! You Surely Didn’t Know This!

Have you ever wondered if something you enjoy daily could quietly be harming your health? Well, settle in because we’re about to delve into the surprising truth about a widely consumed drink that’s a staple for many.

Picture this: you start your day with a comforting cup, only to find out later that it might be contributing to a slow deterioration of your bones. It sounds like something out of a horror film, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, for many, this scenario is more reality than fiction. Let’s uncover this mysterious adversary together!

Yes, we’re talking about coffee, that beloved beverage that so many of us cherish. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love coffee as much as the next person. However, there’s a downside to this cherished morning ritual.

Coffee contains caffeine, which can provide a much-needed energy boost. But here’s the catch: excessive caffeine intake can have a sneaky downside. Research suggests that high caffeine consumption can interfere with the absorption of calcium in your bones.

Calcium is crucial for maintaining bone health, and when your body can’t absorb enough of it, you may experience a loss of bone density over time. This can potentially lead to conditions like osteoporosis, increasing your risk of fractures. Pretty concerning, right?

Now, I’m not suggesting you give up coffee altogether, far from it! But it’s important to be mindful of your caffeine intake. Consider moderating it and perhaps supplementing with calcium-rich foods or supplements to offset any negative effects.

Think of it like your favorite TV show. Binge-watching can be enjoyable in moderation, but overdoing it can have consequences. Similarly, enjoying coffee in moderation can help mitigate any potential negative impact on your bones.

You can still enjoy your daily cup without worrying about its effects on your bones with a few simple adjustments.

In summary, awareness is key. Making informed choices about something as routine as coffee can have a significant impact on your overall health. So, go ahead and savor your cup of coffee knowing that you’re taking steps to safeguard your bone health.

There you have it! While there are considerations to keep in mind with your morning brew, balance and moderation are key. Coffee lovers, rejoice, you don’t have to give up your favorite drink! Just remember to prioritize your bone health alongside your daily cup.

As someone who enjoys a good cup of coffee from time to time, I’ve learned to enjoy it responsibly. Life is about finding enjoyment in the little things, but it’s also about taking care of our health, which is invaluable.
