Journal entry by Laurin Hall —
Happy one YEAR sweet Chase! It feels like yesterday and also a lifetime ago when we first showed up at the pediatrician and this whole chapter began.
Chase went to her oncologist in December 2022 and again in March 2023 for labs and to meet with her oncologist. Her labs look good. Her AST is a liver test and still mildly elevated but the oncologist continues to reinforce that it is expected given the chemo. Her vitamin D is also low (related to her diet choices and not LCH so we started a multivitamin). Her physical exam is perfect.
September 12th is her next appointment. Now that she has gotten through the first year she goes to CHLA every 6 months rather than every 3 months.
Chase is doing great! She is in preschool, she started reading (which she LOVES), and is very social. We are so proud of her and so thankful to have this first year behind us.
On 3/8 we celebrated her one year in remission with pizza (her request) and cupcakes. We celebrated again over the weekend with sushi (her request) and cake when we could all be together as a family. She loved celebrating and rejoicing that her bad guys have been gone for a whole year!
Thank you to all of you that love her so much and continue to keep her complete recovery in your prayers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
