New Images Show Jazlyn’s Steady Recovery at Shriners After Iztapalapa Blast

New images from Fundación Michou y Mau show the two-year-old recovering steadily at Shriners in Galveston following specialized graft surgeries.

Overview

  • Jazlyn survived the September 10 gas‑tanker explosion after her grandmother, Alicia Matías, shielded her with her body, and the grandmother died days later from severe burns.
  • After initial stabilization at Centro Médico Siglo XXI in Mexico City, Fundación Michou y Mau coordinated her transfer to Shriners for Children in Galveston around September 15.
  • She was extubated three days after arriving in Texas and discharged from intensive care roughly a week later, according to the foundation.
  • Surgeons performed autologous skin grafts to her hands, feet, and head using donor sites on her back and legs, and she now wears compression garments as part of burn care.
  • Living with her mother in hospital housing, she continues physical, occupational, and psychological rehabilitation, while the broader incident has been reported to have caused about 32 deaths.
