Living a Full Life
Seven-year-old Jamese loves to sing and dance and will be singing in her school’s talent show. She also loves to read, is on the honor roll at school and won the Principal’s Citizenship Award. To top it all off, she’s taking cooking classes to learn how to bake cookies and granola bars.
Not much seems to slow her down, but Jamese was diagnosed with severe chronic continuous asthma, dermatitis and allergic rhinitis.
