Diagnosis

After initially reveiving a Bells Palsy diagnosis due to facial dropping, Chase's mom noticed that he just was not getting better. October 31, 2025 she took him to the hospital and they recieved a diagnosis that they could never have imagined. Despite have multiple family members in the healthcare field, they had never heard of Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). They settled in at Lurie Children's in Chicago to understand the diagnosis and begin treatment. Chase's mom credits the nurses and doctors at Lurie for explaining everything clearly and reassuring them that they would do everything that they could and would help my baby I’m sharing to possibly help someone else and for the world to meet my beautiful baby god blessed me with

Chase's mom is sharing his story today to hopefully be a beacon of hope for another family who might be experiencing this same terrible journey and also to introduce her precious Chase to the world to show what a blessing God has given to their family.
