Leah takes her girls on a vacation and while out to lunch with her friend Maddy, she explains how much easier it is for Ali to get around now that she has a power wheelchair. Ali has struggled all her life with her diagnosis, which affects major organs in her body like her lungs, her heart, and she could even lose her ability to walk. Doctors warned Leah that Ali’s health could start to decline around her seventh birthday, which is quickly approaching.

“No matter what, I may never see the decline that they see. I guess I’ll handle that when it comes you know? It made it hard at 17, knowing something’s wrong with this baby that you love so f–king much,” Leah said as she wiped tears from her eyes.
