Jasmine my superstar

Jasmine was born 13 years ago, only 7 weeks premature.

From the moment she abruptly invited herself into the world early, I knew she was my little miracle. However, she developed pneumonia as many newborn premature babies do. This was the beginning of the struggle.

From moving into our first home, when she was released from hospital at her 'birth date' she showed struggles with her breathing.

She has spent a lot of time in and out of hospital and still to this day she struggles.

Sadly we ended last year in hospital, only just getting out to see family for Christmas then started this year in hospital from poorly controlled asthma resulting in bronchopneumonia again. On average she is hospitalised three times a year with recurrent bronchopneumonia. Bronchopneumonia is essentially inflammation of the bronchial airways, when the airways are compromised this causes infection to creep in, resulting in localised infection to the smaller airways and sometimes the lobes in the lungs.

I had hoped she would grow out of her asthma so pneumonia would be less frequent but through recent tests it showed very high allergy markers to dust mites, cats and dogs.

Dust mites being the worst, the test coming back in the thousands.

Jasmine will be commencing immunotherapy in months to come so I want to create as free of dust home as I can for her. We have such a strict regime and her flare ups still continue.

With any money raised we will be using it to go towards new bedding, covers, a portable air purifier and immunotherapy.

Now, don't get me wrong. Jasmines life has not just been about being sick. Jasmine lives a great life, is full of energy, love and is so outgoing! She loves circus class, she loves mountain biking. Animals are so special to her, especially dogs. She wants to own a dog rescue centre when is older. She does not let much stop her but when she has her flare ups, they are scary. So scary and she has no choice other than to be stopped.

I just want to know when Jasmine is all grown up and adulting the world like a champion I did everything I could to improve her quality of life.

Thank you <3
