#SavannahStrong

On December 10th Savannah was playing her heart out on the basketball court when she fell and injured her left shoulder.   Dr. Louwagie was at the game and observed additional symptoms; droopy eye, shoulder pain and cough.  The next day Savannah was diagnosed with Horner’s Syndrome and a CT scan was ordered.  The CT scan revealed a mass in her upper chest and over her left shoulder.   Following a biopsy, Savannah was diagnosed with Diffused Large B Cell Lymphoma on Christmas Eve.  She was admitted to Sanford Children’s Hospital where additional tests were ordered. It was determined Savannah’s specific lymphoma is Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma.  Savannah will undergo 6 rounds of inpatient chemotherapy at Sandford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls.  She has successfully completed the first round and will be returning for round 2 on January 20th.  Savannah is such a sweet, strong and courageous young lady – we are all amazed at her positive attitude along this journey. 

So many people have asked how they can help so we are creating this GoFundMe as an easy way for you to support Savannah and her family. The family is extremely overwhelmed, humbled and grateful for all of your support and prayers.   #SavannahStrong
