==Health & Recovery== In September 2015, Jaycee was diagnosed with Perthes Disease in her left hip. The disease, while rare, is most common within children of ages 4-12. People with the disease have a reduced blood supply to the hip bone, causing the bone to die due to a disruption of the flow of blood. She had her first surgery at the end of October that same year, where a metal fixator was placed on her hip. She was bound to crutches in the early stages of her recovery and was left unable to dance. Her fixator was removed for the first time in February of 2016 by Dr. Feldman of The Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute. She wore a brace on her hip for a month, having it removed in March. Her recovery also involved in physical therapy for much of this time in order to regain her strength. Unfortunately, a week into physical therapy, the recovery failed and her hip had re-collapsed. She found a new doctor out of the country, where she had yet another surgery to place a fixator on her hip in April of 2016, this time in Portugal with Doctor Craveiro Lopes. She had it removed in August, and was in a hip brace until that winter. She has recovered with a Stulberg 1 result, meaning her hip is now nearly normal. This also means that she will most likely not need a hip replacement. Jaycee returned to dance in January of 2017, and has since begun competing again with Club Dance. But it was revealed by Jaycee herself that she is not yet back into full shape & strength.<ref>[http://youtu.be/aWaxo_8bRsY?t=1m10s Jaycee's not yet in full shape!]</ref> Jaycee went to Paris to have a full hip replacement surgery on January 15, 2018 (Martin Luther King Day).<ref>[http://youtu.be/aWaxo_8bRsY?t=1m22s Jaycee will have a full hip replacement surgery!]</ref>
