Elizabeth Cortez woke up unexpectedly paralyzed from the chest down on July 8, 2009. She was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, a rare neurological disorder that causes inflammation of the spine. She is being treated at Childrens Medical Center by doctors from UT Southwestern Medical Center, which has one of only two dedicated transverse myelitis programs in the country. With the help of the program's director, Dr. Benjamin Greenberg, Elizabeth is making strides toward recovery. At Childrens, Cortez got to meet her favorite celebrity, Selena Gomez, who visited patients at the hospital in December 2009.

selena is such a good person

[Disneygirl3715]

@newmontana456 Are you Miley's security or something? Yes, I do realize that Miley has helped, but Selena helps out better. Quit trying to defend a celebrity, who you probably barely know in real life.

[newmontana456]

@Disneygirl3715 HAHAHA ur so funny! Or should I say BLIND! Miley has done a lot, when ever she can she goes to hospitals to see kids, and she's been helping with haiti. if you don't know the FACTS Don't say anything, otherwise you just sound stupid.

@Disneygirl3715 are you kidding? you don't know shit about her! you don't know how much miley did help everyone in hospitals, haiti and stuff. when ppl talk shit about selena you guys are going crazy and you're asking you things like "why everyone is hating on selena? she's so cute!" but you hate a nice, adorable and cute person like miley. i think selena gets so much hate because of you, so stfu about miley and go and read what miley done to haiti, children in hospitals & more
