Mia Robertson is no stranger to resilience. At just 20 years old, the youngest child of Duck Dynasty stars Missy and Jase Robertson is gearing up for her 16th surgery to address her cleft palate condition.

Born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, Mia has faced numerous challenges since her first corrective surgery at three months old. Her medical journey, filled with ups and downs, has been publicly shared to raise awareness and support through the family's Mia Moo Fund, established to aid others facing similar battles.

In a heartfelt Instagram post on Sunday, July 28, Missy, 58, shared a snapshot of life's recurring challenges: Mia resting in a hotel room, preparing for another procedure the following day. "Just another night in a very familiar hotel room. I don't say "last" and I don't say "minor" anymore, but I still ask for prayers. @miarobertson1 undergoes #16 tomorrow. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ," the mom-of-three captioned the post.

Fans and followers of the reality TV family didn't skip a beat with well-wishes, positive thoughts, and prayers.

"Praying our Lord's hand will guide the surgeon and a total success with the least amount of pain possible!! You're a true blessing and inspiration Mia!! You have this๐Ÿ’•โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™," one commenter said.

"Praying for you, sweet girl and your mom and dad and your beautiful family. Just let go and trust God he's got this through y'all," another stated.

"You got this @miarobertson1 ๐Ÿ’• Your cleft community rooting you on. You're so brave and strong," chimed in a third.

Last year in August, Mia had her 15th surgery which was supposed to be minor, but ended up being a much more complex procedure. "See, she and her surgeon came to the conclusion a few minutes prior that she is to have another jaw distraction surgery before moving forward in her cleft care," Missy said at the time via Instagram. "Mia's entire cleft team is unbelievably caring. Most have been there her entire life! God has been so good to Mia! Thank you all for praying and letting this mama share with you what is on our hearts," she concluded.
