Girl persevered through rare, painful medical condition
"I'm not waiting to treat her. This is not a cosmetic issue. This is a functional issue with the contractures and the active scarring. And for her to be able to physically become a normal person that can achieve normal jobs and education, she's got to have these scars addressed," insisted Dr. Zedlitz.
"Jasmin say, 'Mom, God chose me because I'm strong.' She say, 'Thank you God from picking me because I'm strong,'" said her mother.
"It took a long time but I just had to realize that everything happens for a reason, and that there was reason why I got this," said Jasmin.
At her visit back to school Jasmin locked arms with her friends and loudly cheered and sang her alma mater. "St. Mary's our academy, we love thee well."
Little by little the dermatologist is seeing improvement in Jasmin's skin. She is donating treatments and continues to show the insurance company why treatments are medically necessary.
Jasmin's medical costs and medications are running around $700 a month. You can donate to her health-care fund called "Team Jasmin SJS" at any Regions Bank.
