For Teen Mom Leah Messer, every day is wracked with worry as she wonders whether her twin daughter Alianna will ever walk properly. As viewers have seen, the tot is lagging behind her sister Aleeah, and doctors have performed a battery of tests on her.

The doctors noted that Ali's arms appeared shorter than average and suggested doing an MRI.
