Leah Messer's daughter, Ali Simms, was diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy years ago and in a new interview, the Teen Mom 2 star offered a health update on the 7-year-old to her fans.
While Ali has a long road ahead of her, Messer revealed that she is doing great as she continues to stay strong amid hardships.
"She’s going great," Messer said during an interview with OK! Magazine on Wednesday. "She has Muscular Dystrophy and she goes to the doctor every 4-6 months. We're taking it day by day."
During their relationship, Messer and her ex-husband, Corey Simms, welcomed twin girls, Ali and Aleeah, and throughout their time on Teen Mom 2, the former couple has continued to stay by their daughter's side as she's faced with the permanent need for a wheelchair to due her physical disability and limitations.
Weeks ago on Instagram, Messer shared a photo of her daughters and encouraged others against bullying.
"There's not one child that should ever face bullying for being who they are born to be. As the mother of an incredible special needs daughter. I recognize how early bullying begins & stand on #SpiritDay in support of all LGBT youth who are struggling with the same!" she wrote.
