A 9-year-old Rochester girl with an unknown medical condition has taken a turn for the worse. The family of Jocelyn Jones tells YNN that Jocelyn is no longer responding to treatment.

We first brought you Jocelyn's story a year ago, which was a week before her first birthday. Jocelyn came down with a fever. She slowly lost her motor skills. Doctors have spent the last nine years trying to figure out why.

Over the years, Jocelyn's family has struggled to pay her medical bills. Without a diagnosed condition, it's difficult to get insurance coverage.

Jocelyn was sent home from the hospital this week. The family doesn't expect her live more than a week.

The family is accepting donations for the funeral.
