Gigi loves to laugh! Almost anything her big brother does makes her laugh. She loves climbing, dancing, fun music, playing games, toys – most kid things – she’s a pretty happy kid.
Gigi was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 3 months old in October 2020. She presented with several unusual bruises. Our pediatrician followed up with a bloodwork panel, all of which came back abnormal, and it just snowballed from there.
She has high-frequency hearing loss due to platinum-related chemos (primarily cisplatin). She has multiple spinal compression fractures caused by the extensive toll chemo took on her bones. For now, she is also extremely small for her age. She also had one adrenal gland removed with surgery.
We really soak up every moment we have with our kids. And the grandparents spent a lot of time here helping through treatment so our kids have an incredibly close relationship with them.
