Alisha Harper will talk about her son Chase who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome officially when he was born and 4 years later was diagnosed with Leukemia. Chase is going strong as he is now 9 years old

from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

During Alisha Harper's pregnancy, she was told that there was a 60 percent chance that her son would be born with Down Syndrome. That statement turned out to be a correct one as Chase was born in December of 2016 with this illness and by the time Chase was 4 years old, Alisha saw that his Down Syndrome was manageable. One month after feeling as good as possible about how Chase was doing, he developed a body rash which turned out to be a symptom of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Despite having this 1-2 punch thrown at him, Chase is doing well as he is now 9 years old and living his best life possible.
