The California Home

The month of October can be a spooky month, maybe even a scary month with monstrous problems. Yikes!! Well maybe not, but words like that seem to be popping up everywhere as kids and adults alike look forward to Halloween.

In fact, according to USA Today, adults spend more on themselves to celebrate Halloween than any other day during the year. I get that. Especially if they want to hang out with the kids to go trick or treating, or to a Halloween party of some kind.

Many homeowners and homebuyers though are truly scared. Scared to death of how in the world they are going to get out of their house and into their next one (the trick).

My Treat: As a result of working with hundreds of families over the years, we have developed a special program to help home sellers and homebuyers. We will guarantee the sale of their present home at a price agreeable to them, and in the unlikely event their home does not sell, we’ll buy it. Now that is how you turn a trick into a real treat.

AND remember… YOUR referrals help the kids.

My heart breaks for many young people and families who will not be able to enjoy this fun time of the year out trick or treating or going to Halloween parties.

As you know, tragedy falls on many in this life. Tragedies like sickness, cancers and other nasty diseases. We aim to do what we can to help kids who are unable to get out and have fun right now, Due to these evil health problems.

My team and I are addicted to helping you and those you know buy or sell the place they call home. In fact, it is a race to help as many as possible so we can GIVE more away.

Why I support ChildrenĘźs Hospital of Los Angeles

Corey Chambers Serving the community with your help.

I grew up right here in the Greater Los Angeles Area, born in Los Angeles County at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a serious disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles Area California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can do the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares a similar commitment to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
Sincerely,

Corey Chambers

Channeling Challenge Into Community: Hunter’s Story — by Caitlin Kryl

The 17-year-old never let his leukemia diagnosis define him—but he proudly wears the title “survivor” in support of a greater purpose.

Hunter doesn’t remember much from his time at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, but more than a decade later, one small moment has stuck with him in multiple ways.

A blonde woman asks him: What flavor?

“She’d hold up an array of ChapSticks,” Hunter explains, “blueberry, strawberry, green apple, root beer float and chocolate.”

The blonde woman—his nurse—was preparing him for chemotherapy, delivered via his spine. The scented lip balm made wearing an anesthesia mask more palatable. He always chose blueberry.

Hunter was 2 years old when doctors first discovered acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in his blood. He received that uncomfortable spinal treatment, called intrathecal chemotherapy, consistently until he was 5 years old. Now, at age 17, much of his cancer care is a distant memory.

That blueberry ChapStick has the power to transport him back, though. “It’s a scent thing, for sure,” he says. He explains how he even referenced the memory in the opening line of his college essay.

As he enters his senior year of high school, Hunter’s future brims with opportunity: He competes on the swim team, works part-time as a lifeguard, takes as many AP courses as he can manage, and studies for the SAT while serving as a college peer mentor.

For many years, Hunter wasn’t sure how to process his cancer journey—it was too painful and felt far removed from the life he lives now. “I rejected the idea of leukemia when I was younger,” he says.

Over the past year, however, he’s channeled his personal experiences to foster community for fellow survivors and their families. In 2023, he started a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society chapter at his school and raised over $50,000 for leukemia and lymphoma cancer research.

“I felt like I wanted to do something big with that,” he says. So, he did.

The early days: mysterious bruises and a shocking diagnosis

For Hunter’s parents, Zia and Michael, the memories and emotions associated with his ALL diagnosis and treatment remain as vivid as they were 15 years ago.

“He started presenting with a lot of bruises,” his dad, Michael, explains. “It was around the time he was climbing out of the crib, so for a while, we attributed it to that.”

But the bruises kept coming, followed by curious abrasions and bloody noses. At first, their local pediatrician said it was just part of being a 2-year-old—but Zia and Michael weren’t satisfied with that answer. Encouraged by a family member who is a pediatric nurse, they returned to the doctor for further testing.

Tests revealed the answer that turned their world upside down: Hunter had leukemia.

“I don’t even know how we processed it. I just remember falling to my knees,” Zia says. “The next thing we know, we’re at CHLA for 11 days dealing with this crazy, life-changing experience.”

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood, bone marrow and immune system. While chemotherapy is highly effective—about 85% of children beat ALL—treatment comes with many side effects and requires close monitoring for several years.

Leading-edge treatment from the clinic to home

David R. Freyer, DO, MS, met Hunter as a precocious 2-year-old and has helped oversee his care since. He explains that treatment happens in several phases: first, to bring the disease into remission through chemotherapy and other treatments. Then, to ensure remission is permanent, which includes a maintenance phase.

As both an oncologist and the Director of CHLA’s Survivorship and Supportive Care Program, Dr. Freyer supported multiple aspects of Hunter’s care, focusing on both his clinical well-being as well as ensuring Hunter continued to meet developmental milestones as a toddler, preschooler, kindergartner and beyond.

“A lot of what we do is help families navigate critical life events—importantly, continuing to grow up,” Dr. Freyer says. “You can’t put all that on pause while they’re in treatment.”

“Starting from diagnosis, we’re blessed to have a large team of leukemia and lymphoma specialists,” Dr. Freyer adds, emphasizing the advantages of seeking care at a pediatric academic medical center with specialty expertise. “They’re national and international experts in this area. They develop and lead treatment programs and protocols that are used around the world.”

Hunter and his family experienced this leading-edge treatment firsthand: As part of his care, Hunter participated in a clinical trial at CHLA that is now the standard of care for treating ALL.

The trial, known as AALL0232, was sponsored by the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), the world’s oldest and largest scientific organization dedicated to childhood and adolescent cancer. CHLA is one of the largest research hospitals in the COG and doctors at CHLA played crucial roles in designing AALL0232, which has helped make treatment for Hunter’s type of leukemia both more effective and safer for young children.

“A story like Hunter’s is what I always needed to hear”

Dr. Freyer also emphasizes the hospital’s focus on “whole-person care” through the survivorship program, which is now the standard in pediatric oncology: “Due to the ever-improving survival rates in children with cancer, the field of pediatric cancer survivorship began to emerge about 30 years ago,” he says. In fact, he says the world of adult oncology is now beginning to emphasize survivorship for adults treated for cancer. “They’re kind of learning from us.”

Once patients finish cancer treatment, they visit their treatment team regularly to monitor for recurrence of the leukemia. Within a year or two after ending treatment, patients are referred to the CHLA LIFE Cancer Survivorship and Transition Clinic. In the LIFE Clinic, patients are followed yearly until they’re around 21 years old.

The purpose of these visits is to monitor for late side effects of cancer treatment and to help children thrive as they develop. “They’ll always be survivors of ALL,” Dr. Freyer explains, “but our goal in the LIFE Clinic is to help them return to optimal health, monitor for late-onset side effects, and prevent those whenever possible.”

As Zia reflects on that traumatic time in her family’s life, reassurance from Hunter’s providers that he was receiving top care that incorporates the latest science was key to helping her cope.

“All in all, it wasn’t as horrific as one would expect,” she says. “I needed that reassurance myself. I’m hoping this story will help other parents because a story like Hunter’s is what I always needed to hear.”

Answering the call to community

As he grew up, Hunter let his history with leukemia fade into the background. But when he learned his friend, Ian, had lost a family member to the same disease, he realized that connecting to others with similar experiences could be a way to reclaim his story.

“I hated seeing my friend hurt,” Hunter says. “It inspired me to make my experience into something better, to use it as motivation.”

That’s when Hunter and Ian decided to start a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society chapter at their high school. The chapter focuses on supporting others affected by leukemia and lymphoma, growing awareness, and fundraising to advance research and treatment.

The group’s first year of fundraising paid off more than Hunter and the team could have ever anticipated. They raised over $50,000 by auctioning off local experiences online and mailing out 300 hand-written letters—contributing to a total $1.8 million raised by society chapters across L.A. County.

Hunter recalls seeing the final number posted onscreen at a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society event: “That was the grand finale of it all. It was a super proud moment.” Survivors joined the group onstage to thank them and tell their own stories. “I’m not an emotional guy, but that was very touching,” he says. “It’s something I’ll never forget.”

A bright future ahead

Last year, Hunter volunteered more than 100 hours at his local hospital emergency room. He’s thinking about exploring opportunities in the life sciences after high school graduation and considering studying biology in college.

Returning to CHLA—where his own health care journey began 15 years ago—is far from easy for Hunter or his family. Zia says the emotions flood back as soon as she enters the fourth floor. The connections Hunter has made with his care team help add moments of joy to the experience.

“I see so many faces I might not recognize, but they recognize me from when I was small and stop to give me a hug,” says Hunter. “It’s definitely a family.”

“He was just a little guy fascinated by tadpoles, frogs and fish when I first met him,” reflects Dr. Freyer. “Now he’s almost an adult. It’s important to celebrate treatment successes, and Hunter exemplifies that in every way. It’s been a joy to watch him grow up.”

“Hunter is an incredible human being,” Michael says. “He never let his diagnosis put any limitations on him, and recently he’s been reconnecting with that part of himself as the leader of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society chapter. We’re so proud. I couldn’t be more excited to see what lies ahead for him.”

A Mother’s Gift: The Foundation for a Lifelong Passion in Writing

Every mother has her unique way of guiding and teaching her children. My mother was no exception. She was instrumental in teaching me to read and write even before I started my formal education. Her nurturing and guidance have made me who I am today: a passionate writer and the proud author of the L.A. Loft Blog. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, I want to share my story as a tribute to my mother and all the amazing moms out there who shape their children’s lives in profound ways.

The Wise Woman and Her Free-Range Approach

My mother was not the type to constantly instruct me on what to do or not to do. Instead, she was more of a free-range mom who believed in giving me space to learn and grow at my own pace. She offered valuable advice when needed, and time has revealed that she was, indeed, a wise woman. Her approach allowed me to develop a strong sense of independence and curiosity, which later translated into my passion for reading and writing.

The Gift of Reading and Writing

Before I even set foot in my first grade classroom, my mother had already taught me to read and write at a third-grade level. She recognized the importance of a strong foundation in literacy and spent countless hours nurturing my abilities. This early start in my education not only made me feel confident and ready for school but also sparked a love for reading and writing that has stayed with me throughout my life.

The L.A. Loft Blog: A Testament to a Mother’s Love

In addition to Loft Blog readers, friends and clients, my mother’s guidance and support led to my success. Her belief in me and her dedication to my education laid the groundwork for my passion for writing. This Mother’s Day, I want to acknowledge her impact on my life and express my gratitude for her unwavering love and support.

A Gift for All Mothers

This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate the wisdom, love, and dedication of all mothers, both present and those who are no longer with us. Each mother has her unique way of shaping her children’s lives, and their influence lasts a lifetime. So here’s a heartfelt gift to all moms out there: Buy a home in May, get $5,000 cash from your broker, the Corey Chambers Team, at closing. Happy Mother’s Day!

Though my mother is no longer here, her legacy lives on in my writing and my love for reading. Her wisdom and love have made a lasting impact on my life, and I am forever grateful. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s remember to honor and appreciate the incredible women who have made us who we are today. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wise, loving, and dedicated mothers out there. Your impact is immeasurable, and your love knows no bounds.

From Fetal Diagnosis to Fontan Procedure to Fun-loving Kid

E.J. was born with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, a rare single-ventricle heart defect.

Five months into an uneventful pregnancy for their second child, Marie and Noel received news from their obstetrician no parents want to hear—the latest scan looked as if something was seriously wrong with their unborn baby’s heart.

“We were pretty shocked, hoping it wasn’t true and the next ultrasound would show that,” Noel says. “There was definitely some denial, some shock and hope.”

Their obstetrician referred them to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Fetal Cardiology Program, part of the nationally ranked Heart Institute, where specialists have both the experience and technology to diagnose and treat the most complex neonatal heart defects.

Pediatric cardiologist Grace Kung, MD, performed a fetal echocardiogram. “At 20 weeks gestation, we can get a clear picture of the heart’s chambers, valves and arteries and the direction of blood flow,” she says.

What Dr. Kung saw confirmed the suspicions. Marie and Noel’s baby had a rare heart defect called pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. In this condition, the pulmonary valve between the heart and lungs doesn’t form properly, or at all, and blood can’t flow normally from the heart’s right lower chamber (ventricle) to the lungs to pick up oxygen for the body.

About 1% of babies are born each year in the U.S. with a congenital heart defect. Pulmonary atresia is even more rare—it affects about 1% of that 1%, or 1 in 7,100 babies annually.

“We knew the road ahead would be difficult at times,” says Marie, “but Children’s Hospital was going to help us. They quickly developed a whole plan for us.”

Making a diagnosis in utero gives doctors a chance to strategize before birth. “It takes away any surprises, and we can prevent the baby from getting too sick,” says Dr. Kung.

CHLA’s fetal cardiology specialists collaborate with other experts across the Heart Institute, including world-class congenital heart surgeons, fetal surgeons, heart rhythm specialists, neonatologists and imaging specialists. “What sets CHLA apart is our collaborative work,” says Dr. Kung. “Every patient is discussed throughout their care.”

Welcome to the world

Marie gave birth to their 6-pound, 2-ounce baby boy next door to CHLA on Nov. 23, 2015.

The couple named him Emmanuel, his father’s actual first name—meaning “God with us.” They chose his middle name—Josiah—after learning about his heart disease. “Josiah means ‘Jehovah has healed,’” says Marie, “pretty much declaring the hope of healing over his life, however that healing comes.”

The right side of E.J.’s heart was smaller than the left—too small to do its usual job of pumping blood to the lungs. He would need a series of three surgeries called single-ventricle palliation to enhance his heart’s pumping capabilities.

Normally, a blood vessel provides a fetus with oxygenated blood in utero. The vessel closes soon after birth, but doctors gave E.J. medicine to keep it open. On day 2, they inserted a stent—a small, metal mesh tube—inside the vessel. “Instead of a direct route between the blood vessels to the body and the blood vessels to the lungs, it creates a detour,” says Dr. Kung.

E.J.’s recovery went smoothly until day 10. His oxygen saturation level plummeted to zero and his heartbeat slowed dangerously, then briefly stopped. Watchful CTICU nurses started chest compressions, and E.J. was rushed to the operating room for intervention on his atrial septum, a wall separating the heart’s upper chambers.

The incident illustrated something Marie and Noel quickly learned as parents of a baby with a heart defect: the times in between major surgeries could be scarier than the major procedures, says Marie.

They also learned to be careful monitors of their son’s health and idiosyncrasies. For example, sometimes E.J. simply held his breath, then started breathing normally again. Marie would assure nurses new to his bedside there was no need to panic.

Both parents were comforted by how closely the doctors, nurses and other team members listened to them. “Their knowledge and attentiveness really gave us peace of mind,” says Noel.

Just before Christmas, 1-month-old E.J. came home for the first time and met his big sister, Arabella, almost 3 years old. “She knew she had a brother,” says Marie, “but she wanted to see him for herself.”

The family returned to CHLA when E.J. was 5 months old for the Glenn procedure. Surgeons connected one of the large veins that returns blood to the heart to the pulmonary artery, while another vein kept blood flowing to the right side of the heart.

Since birth, E.J.’s oxygen saturation level had been consistently low, once dipping down to 33%, far below the desired 95% to 100%. Before the Glenn Procedure, his level averaged about 60% to 70%. Now it began rising. “He was very active, with a lot of energy,” Marie says.

Just before E.J.’s third birthday, he underwent the Fontan procedure. This time, cardiac surgeons rerouted his circulation so blood from the lower body went directly to his lungs, while high-oxygen blood went into the heart. Suddenly, E.J.’s oxygen levels jumped to 95%—finally within the healthy range.

Lifelong monitoring and care

The number of Fontan surgeries that the Heart Institute performs annually is among the largest in the U.S. “Single-ventricle defects are challenging conditions to treat. Although they are quite rare, you wouldn’t know it coming to CHLA,” says Andrew Cheng, MD, who leads the multidisciplinary Fontan Program. “We see patients with this type of condition every single day.” The program helps troubleshoot potential complications for children with Fontan circulation, including problems with the liver, kidneys and lungs, along with learning disabilities and mental health problems.

When they visit the Fontan Program, families can see specialists from every key area in one visit as needed. The goal of this monitoring: early detection and treatment.

In February 2024, CHLA opened the Fetal Cardiac Clinic. This dedicated home for the Fetal Cardiology Program offers over 3,000 square feet and three scanning rooms for comprehensive care to expectant mothers and the fetal patient population during and after pregnancy. In addition to fetal echocardiograms, its advanced prenatal diagnostic tools include 3D/4D ultrasound, fetal magnetic resonance imaging and maternal hyperoxygenation testing.

E.J.’s journey continues

Above all, “we want these children with heart defects to be normal kids,” says Dr. Kung, who became E.J.’s primary cardiologist at his parent’s request. “We want them to play with other kids and go to school.”

E.J. returns regularly for checkups at CHLA, where he is a big fan of the therapy dogs, mobile library and playrooms, which Arabella also enjoys. A happy, busy 8-year-old, E.J. loves soccer, as well as jiu jitsu and basketball. He’s doing well in school, where his favorite subject is art. He sings in school performances and participates in piano recitals.

Marie and Noel started a scrapbook of the family’s experience labeled “E.J.’s Journey.” E.J. often looks through the book. He sometimes asks why he was born with a different kind of heart than his mom, dad and sister have, “but more out of curiosity,” Marie says. “He likes learning about his condition.”

E.J. calls CHLA “The Butterfly Hospital” for its iconic logo. It’s a symbol that also represents his own transformation into “normal kid.”
