Greetings everyone. We want to share with you an update of Jasmine's condition as of today. As of January 10th 2013, Jasmine was admitted to the ICU where they placed her on a breathing tube to give her lungs a break. She is still on the breathing tube as of today, but the Doctor's are currently working on getting her off the breathing tube in the next few days. Jasmine also has two tubes placed in her kidneys that help her flush out any toxins. Her kidneys are improving.
Her vitals are steadily improving. Due to the chemotherapy her White Blood Cell count has dropped significantly but this was expected and the Team here in the ICU are replacing her fluids and blood and keeping her stable from any risk of infection.
We have a few good notes to share: As of today she pooped twice. She has not had a bowel movement since December 31st right before her biopsy procedure. We have never been so excited about poop :). Also she smiled and winked her eye for the first time in a few weeks. She is definitely responsive and expresses her emotions very well (mostly through the shaking of her head and facial expressions).
Her lungs are improving due to the breathing tube and her MRI of the brain came back negative of any tumors and infections.
We will continue to update everyone on Jasmine's status. Please continue to keep Jasmine and our family in your prayers.
Ms. Jazzy Jazz held my hand and smiled at me today, I am so HAPPY!!! She is usually asleep when I go see her, but this time she gave me a wonderful gift! Zully and I played peekaboo with her and she thought it was funny. Update from her Titi Lizzy is that she is doing AWESOME!! Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow and see my Jazzy's beautiful smile again :)

Praying in Columbia, SC for beautiful Jasmine!!! You go girlie, or as I say sometimes, YGG! Praying for ALL of you. A scripture I cling to is Hebrews 6:19 --> 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. ⚓ God bless!
