Lola's Journey
Description
In February 2015, Rob and Michaela had a beautiful daughter, Lola and enjoyed life full of laughter and play. They were getting ready to welcome their second child in March and could not be more excited about their growing family.

On March 1st 2015, just a few days shy of turning 2, Lola was diagnosed with Chordoma. And Rob and Michaela welcomed their second daughter, Lucy, days after. Treatment for Lola followed after the birth of Lucy. Family life went into overdrive, including trips back and forth to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, long admissions to the hospital, and caring for a newborn. Since March, Lola has had a craniotomy, thoracotomy and segmentectomy (a lung resection), and she has completed 10 rounds of chemotherapy. Lola is a beautiful, strong, feisty little 2-year old who loves her Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Elsa and Anna. She touches everyone she meets with her charm and imagination, and despite her age, she will tell you what is on her mind and how she feels about you. Lola is a fighter and will continue to strive to greatness.

Following her last round of chemo, all her doctors have determined that her next step in order to make sure this tumor is gone once and for all is Proton Beam Radiation. This treatment is done at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Lola and her family moved to Massachusetts to ensure Lola and her little sister, Lucy, can continue to have as normal of a life as possible. Lola’s treatment started right after the New Year and will consist of radiation every day.

Lola started Proton Beam Radiation on Tuesday, January 26th, 2016. She has done well despite a little cold and feeling a little dizzy after anesthesia. She has been also been receiving physical therapy. It has been a challenge waking up at 6:15 every morning to travel into Boston and not being able to eat or drink from the time she goes to bed until radiation is done, usually around 10 AM the next morning. Overall, Lola and her family has been managing their new environment and new schedule.

"I finished my game!!!' Lola loved playing golf at midnight on the meds floor of Sloan Kettering!!  This kid was a total night owl and just wanted to go on adventures at night! Even if it meant playing golf while all the other children were sleeping... Whatever works, right?

Lola is a rockstar!! She had a tough few weeks!  Radiation is DONE!!! 38 rounds in total! Following radiation, Lola had a fever and was brought to MGH.  She had an ear infection and a week later got a stomach bug.... We had a CT pet scan yesterday and I am happy to report... LOLA IS NED! NO EVIDENCE of DISEASE!!!  We are waiting on a tumor board meeting to make sure Lola has no further treatment and we just have to keep an eye on her and do scans every few months!!! TIME TO CELEBRATE!!

Dear Precious Lola and Lucy~ It was Pink Flamingo Friday last week!  What a special celebration created by a wonderful auntie.  Who knew there would be a yummy turkey dinner baked by your Papa Bear?  So, so good!  What a wonderful Pink Flamingo Party***  Yesterday you had another memorable day at Fenway Park with your family.  God Bless the family of Erica Kate Leafquist  who fought her acute lymphoblastic leukemia fiercely like a "Warrior Princess"  She is gone too soon but will live on in the hearts of her family and all who's lives she touched.  We enjoyed her artwork and the dedication to her in the Premiere Pavilion Suite B 6.  Thank you for a memorable day with sweet Lola and Lucy as well as their parents.  Go Red Sox***  An awesome game!  Thank you Dana Farber and the anonymous person who donated the tickets for Lola and her family.  Another precious memory for the family.  God Bless You and the family that shared the event with us.  Happy Monday! ***
