Jazzy Cake's

On the 25th June 2016 our little Jasmine at the age of 6 was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome. With her increasing symptoms of abdominal and facial swelling for over a period of 1 month, she developed Septic Shock secondary to Bacterial Peritonitis where she was transferred to Lady Cilento, fighting for her life for nearly 2 months.
With this devastating news, our close family of 5 were hit hard. Our Little Jasmine the daughter of Mum & Dad (Michael & Gabrielle)and Precious sister of 2 big brothers (Raphael & Levi) held strong with the help from Family, Work & Friends.
After a kidney biopsy she was then diagnosed with a genetic kidney disease called FSGS Nephrotic Syndrome and developed Vein Thrombosis in her right leg. After 1 year of treatment, in December 2017 Jasmine relapsed with Bacterial Peritonitis, Bowel Intussusception and her clot calcified in her hip.
Jasmine will be on Blood Thinning medication for the rest of her life and will be needing a kidney transplant as this disease has affected both her kidneys.
Currently she has undergone Portacath and Hernia surgery. Port surgery was required as Jasmine's veins were collapsing and it now gives great access via her chest for her Infusions on a fortnightly basis.
After surgery we where notified her kidney function is between 35-40%. On top of all this, Jasmine also has Anaemia associated with Chronic Disease and Renal Failure, Hypothyroidism & Hypercholesterolaemia.
Doctors are predicting that Jazzy Cake will start Dialysis and have a Kidney Transplant in the New Year which will be hard and an emotional time for our family.
With the money raised this will help go towards Jasmine's Pain Medication, Hospital visits and further testing.
From the bottom of our Hearts. Michael, Gabrielle, Raphael, Levi & Jazzy Cakes thank you.
