CHICAGO -- Two-year-old Takyra Wordlow bosses around her big sisters — and when they ignore her demands, she stomps her foot to get their attention, her mother Jazz Vance said recently.
Her youngest daughter also keeps her busy as Vance must always keep a watchful eye because of Takyra’s love of trying to flip on and off of her older sisters’ bunk bed.
In 2020, just shy of Takyra’s first birthday, Vance, of Chicago, was pleading with Facebook users to get tested to see if they were a match to her daughter, who was suffering with biliary atresia, a sometimes-deadly disease of infancy that federal health authorities say is more likely in children with African American and Asian American heritage.
