It's being reported that the brave 6 year old has lost her battle with leukemia.
According to reports:
...the Manhattan girl whose brave battle against leukemia captivated the city and inspired thousands to become bone marrow donors, has died. She was just six years old.
Jasmina's year-long fight against an especially fatal form of the disease ended at 10:55 p.m. Wednesday night at NYU Langone Medical Center, her mother, Thea Anema, said.
Suffering from a fever and shortness of breath, Jasmina was admitted to the hospital Monday morning.
She was diagnosed with pneumonia in both of her lungs, and her condition deteriorated rapidly.
Before noon on Wednesday, doctors moved Jasmina into the ICU because her breathing had become so labored.
She only got worse.
"Jasmina's antibiotics are not working so her lungs are filling up with fluids," a friend wrote on Jasmina's blog in a message posted at 6:43 p.m. "Her situation right now is critical. The doctors are trying to get the situation under control but Thea will have to make a difficult decision if this does not work."
Jasmina passed away just a few hours later.
..Thoughts and prayers are with Jasmina's family during their time of bereavement.
