HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) – A Grand Strand family is celebrating a few small victories as their 13-year-old daughter battles not only COVID-19 but leukemia.
Lauren Hocin has been giving updates on her daughter, Ariel Griffith’s, condition since she got sick a couple of weeks ago.
Ariel, a student at Ocean Bay Middle School, started having health issues. She was taken to Grand Strand Medical Center where she was treated for COVID-19. But according to Lauren, Ariel’s condition worsened and they took her to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston where they ultimately learned that Ariel has leukemia.
