Jasmin suffers from Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, which is known as the mannequin disease. It is causing Floyd to grow a second skeleton, as her ligaments and muscle slowly turn to bone.

Living With Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
FOP is a rare disease which affects 1 in every 2 million people.
It is slowly immobilizing Jasmin.
There are only 800 confirmed cases in the whole world and flare-ups, growing unnecessary bone, happen spontaneously and usually after things like immunizations, falls, and viral illnesses.
Jasmin was diagnosed with the disease when she was 5 years old.
She is expected to live until age 45.
There is currently a GoFundMe raising money for Jasmin's special needs trust fund. [4]
