What a wonderful story! ❤️
Louisa, Lulu for short, was excited to use her doctor kit to give Dr. Kram, her pediatric oncologist, a checkup for once. The 6-year-old is practicing for when she becomes a doctor someday. She was inspired by Dr. Kram, who she’s been seeing since 2022 for treatment of a brain tumor, which caused her to lose fine motor skills on the left side of her body. Lulu’s mom, Sarah, says the compassionate care she’s received from Dr. Kram has her dreaming about becoming a doctor. “Dr. Kram always addresses Lulu first when he walks in the room and asks if she has any questions before he leaves,” Sarah says. Pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Elton removed most of the tumor, and now Lulu’s been doing physical therapy and working with Dr. Kram to manage her symptoms. “You would never know by looking at her or talking to her that she had a brain tumor,” Sarah says. “It doesn’t hold her back. We’re thankful for the care and professionalism we received from Drs. Elton and Kram.”
