The five-year-old from Kentucky has a rare skin condition which causes her excruciating pain when she is exposed to the sun, meaning she spends all summer waiting for winter so she can enjoy the outdoors. The condition, known as non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NBCIE), causes boils and scales all over Georgia’s body, causing her to look like she has suffered horrific burns.
However for Georgia’s mother, Misty, every winter is another miracle for her daughter, who doctors said wouldn’t live past two weeks.
‘When Georgia was born she had scales all over her skin – it looks like she has been burnt. Doctors didn’t think she’d make it,’ she said.
PIC FROM CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: Georgias back as a baby ) - A young girl is the most excited child around that winter is getting closer as it means she can finally play outside. Georgia Mitchell, from Harlan, Kentucky, has had to sit and watch her friends play all summer but now is excitedly counting down the days until she can join them. The five-year-old suffers from an extremely rare skin condition - Non Bullous Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma  which causes her skin to be covered in scales and sun exposure brings on excruciating pain. But after being told Georgia wouldnt live past two weeks, mum Misty says staying out of the sun is a small price to pay to have her daughter here. SEE CATERS COPY

Misty said that having to deny Georgia the normal pleasures of childhood due to her condition, such as her wish to go to Disney Land, is ‘heartbreaking’.
They were also forced to take her out of school because running around with the other children was causing her too much pain.
Despite this, Misty and her husband Sonny are determined that Georgia will live a full happy life.
She said: ‘Georgia is very outgoing and she lets nothing hold her back.’

‘She says she wants to be a doctor and we continue to encourage her’, Misty added.
