Mother Always Said You Should…

Did my mom used to tell me over and over again to do this and do that, not do this and not to do that? Actually, she was more of a free-range mom. I recall that she gave very valuable advice. Looking back on it, I can say she was, a very wise woman – even though I may have not thought so at the time.
 Time reveals, in fact, just about every caring Mother is a Wise Woman. I can see why we carve out a special day each year to acknowledge Mothers. So here is a shout out to all Moms – Happy Mother’s Day!!
 My mom is no longer here. While that can make me sad this time of year, there is a silver lining in even the largest of clouds. I am sure some reading this can relate and have similar stories. For ALL those, whose Mom is no longer with us, I’m sure they are missed. In addition to that, there are also many who never knew their Mom due to unfortunate circumstance. But we can celebrate this Mothers Day as we know Moms both here and no longer here are special in more ways than we can count.  |  Blog Video

In This Issue  —  Vol 9, Issue 5 May 2021
— Mom always said you should do this.
— How Your Referrals Help Kids
— And More

Especially the Moms who are sitting right now by their Child’s hospital bed not too far from where I type this…

You may recall that we are on a mission to raise $25,000 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
  Right now, there are kids who are trying to beat cancer and other debilitating diseases at Children’s. The moms with kids fighting are most likely NOT thinking about their special day this month. They are simply just being “Mom” doing what a real loving Mom does.

This is where you can help…

Kids under the care of Children’s Recovery Center are 300% more likely to enter into remission IF they can get into the recovery center. BUT, the Recover Center survives on Sponsorships and Donations. So YOUR REFERRALS HELP THE KIDS…

Why I support Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

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 nasty 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 heath 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 the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal or 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 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,

Owen Is Living Seizure-Free After Brain Surgery


Undetected for years, a tumor in the 8-year-old’s brain was finally removed thanks to a team of specialists at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
 — By Eunice Oh

All it took was six words: “Can I have some Cup Noodles?”

And just like that, Diana knew her son was OK. Owen had just woken up from brain surgery and hearing him request his favorite food allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.

Hours earlier, the 8-year-old had been wheeled into the operating room where a team of experts attempted to eradicate the seizures that had begun suddenly three months earlier. Each incident was alarming. Sometimes Owen’s neck would twitch and freeze, other times his eyes would roll back. Unable to talk or control his movements, he once had an episode while riding his bike and crashed.

“We were frightened,” Diana says about she and her husband, Erik. “We started watching him like a hawk. We noticed the seizures would get longer and longer, and last a good minute or two.”

The seizures were being trigged by something Owen’s parents never expected. An MRI scan revealed a brain tumor the size of an egg that possibly had been growing since birth, his doctor believed. Diana and Erik immediately began researching the best pediatric neurosurgeons in the country.

An extra touch of care

When it comes to a brain tumor, labeling it as “benign” or “non-benign” isn’t so clear-cut, says Mark D. Krieger, MD, Senior Vice President and Surgeon-in-Chief of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and a Board-certified pediatric neurosurgeon. There are high-grade tumors and low-grade tumors; lethality depends on how fast they grow and how quickly they can be treated.

“The interesting thing about Owen’s case was that this was a slower-growing tumor that had been there for a while, yet he was still an incredibly high-functioning kid,” says Dr. Krieger, who also holds the Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Chair in Neurosurgery. “Like any tumor, if it continued to grow, it could have become fatal.”

Owen had a glioneuronal tumor, an extremely rare condition that can cause pressure on the brain, block the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and trigger seizures. It was near the parietal and occipital lobes of the brain, an area that affects movement, vision and perception, which explained the frequent eye spasms Owen had also been experiencing.

“Initially we thought it was too much Zoom time or being on the computer too much because this all started at the beginning of the pandemic, when school was held online,” says Diana. “We had no idea it was something this serious.”

The diagnosis prompted Diana and Erik to have Owen’s twin, Daniel, also undergo an MRI. “They’re identical so that got us thinking we should probably double check. Luckily, though, he was fine,” she says.

The family’s search for a surgeon led them to the Neurological Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, which houses one of the country’s largest pediatric brain and spinal cord tumor programs. Among the more than 750 surgeries performed at the Institute every year, 100 are specifically for brain tumors, and care is coordinated with multiple specialists, including oncologists, radiologists and pathologists.

“We knew right away that Dr. Krieger was our guy,” recalls Diana. “There was something different about him. He called us even before we met him for our first appointment and reassured us that there were options, and that everything would be OK. As a nervous parent, that extra touch of care was so comforting.”

A targeted approach

Owen’s tumor was in the back of his brain and not on the surface, making it a particularly challenging surgery. One key piece of technology that Dr. Krieger used during the procedure was the STEALTH System, which takes an MRI of the patient’s brain, digitizes it and places it into a 3D space that generates a clear picture of the patient’s brain anatomy. Ultrasound was then used to see through Owen’s brain to pinpoint the tumor’s location and the most direct path to it.

Also in the operating room was Latanya Agurs, MD, a pediatric epilepsy expert who partnered with Dr. Krieger on performing an electrocorticography. The process involves placing electrodes directly onto the brain to determine where seizures originate. At first, the two saw seizure activity “coming from all around the brain,” says Dr. Krieger. But once the tumor was removed, nothing was detected.

“That was a good sign we had taken out the whole tumor,” says Dr. Krieger, “and likely also cured his seizures.”

After spending four days in the hospital, Owen was discharged, and his speedy recovery at home shocked his parents. “It wasn’t even two weeks when he asked us if he could ride his bike again,” Diana says, laughing. “We told him, ‘No, no, no. Not until Dr. Krieger says you can.’” Owen got the greenlight a few weeks later.

“Although this type of surgery sounds like a big procedure, we’re not cutting through muscle or pain-sensitive structures so children typically mobilize after a short period of time,” explains Dr. Krieger. “You’d be surprised how resilient kids are and how quickly they can rebound.”

Fortunate and grateful

The one-year anniversary of Owen’s surgery is coming up, and so far all his follow-up MRI scans have come back clean. He’s completely off his seizure medication, and he’ll continue to be monitored over the next 10 years to make sure the tumor and seizures don’t return. “But we have every expectation that won’t happen,” says Dr. Krieger.

Diana and Erik are just as hopeful. “We feel so fortunate because we know the hospital treats so many kids and we were one of the lucky ones. Owen’s issue was addressed and we don’t have any ongoing issues. We know that’s not always the case,” says Diana.

“To know that there is a place like Children’s Hospital,” she adds, “with all the resources and the most amazing doctors, nurses and staff who really care about the kids, it makes you really grateful.”

Corey Chambers Real Estate Downtown Los Angeles

Happy FREEDOM Month! 

As you know July is our nation’s birthday month. If you are like me, you celebrate it daily. You are undoubtedly familiar with how it all started: 

In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776  #coreychambers #realestate #news #chla

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America, “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” 

This, of course, is the Introduction to The U.S. Declaration of Independence. Wikipedia explains it this way:  The introduction asserts as a matter of Natural Law the ability of a people to assume political independence; acknowledges that the grounds for such independence must be reasonable, and therefore explicable, and ought to be explained.  The next section of the declaration is called the Preamble. It outlines a general philosophy of government that justifies revolution when the government harms natural rights. We are very familiar with the first part of that section… right? 

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 

Beautiful famous words. Those words really come to life for us when you consider the idea of owning real estate, especially your own HOME.  

Your Referrals really do help the kids!
Your Referrals really do help the kids!

Which leads me to the next part of the Declaration of Independence, called the Indictment.  The Indictment is a bill of particulars documenting the king’s “repeated injuries and usurpations” of the Americans’ rights and liberties. And if you read the document it is a long list of wrongs for sure. My guaranteed sale program is a solution to ‘wrongs’ in real estate for homeowners experiencing the Catch 22. In fact, this is how successful businesses are built. Identify something that is a problem for people and solves it.
