She lost her battle with Neurofibromatosis Type 1, or NF1 in March 2019.Mila was born in September 2017 to former FOX 29 Executive Producer Jessica and her husband Dan.

When Mila was a few weeks old, Jess and Dan noticed birthmarks on her back.They took her to CHOP, where she was diagnosed with NF1.Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is a genetic disorder occurring in one in every 3,000 births and while some people who have NF1 inherit the gene from their parents, others, like Mila, are the first in their family to have it.

Symptoms can include benign tumors and skeletal abnormalities and in Mila's extremely rare case, vascular issues leading to high blood pressure.Mila lived a very normal life until her high blood pressure was discovered at 14 months old.
