Mila Metelsky has suffered from two different rare chronic illnesses, gastroparesis and chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, ever since she was born at 25 weeks.
She has already endured countless procedures, tests and surgeries, according to a GoFundMe page launched for her family.
"Mila recently had an MRI done due to symptoms that were not improving, and her doctor was suspicious of her having a spinal cord issue," the page reads. "Mila’s parents found out she needs to have spinal surgery for a Tethered spinal cord, which is what the doctor found on her MRI."
If Mila does not get the surgery, her symptoms will worsen.
"Mila is a beautiful, strong, happy, funny, sweet little girl who is going to do BIG things in life. With everything she goes through and the pain she feels on a day-to-day basis, she still has a smile on her face and is loving life. She is truly an inspiration," Helen wrote.
