Is GPA recovery possible?

Hi there! I'm a first semester sophomore undergrad. Freshman year was a bit rocky and my cGPA is currently 3.5. BCPM is a little lower. No Cs, just even As and Bs. I hate making excuses, but objectively I am chronically ill and spent a lot of last year in and out of hospitals. Some of my professors weren't super lenient about that, which is fine, but I didn't score as high as I know I could have.

I'm doing a lot better this year now that I have a proper care team and ODA accommodations (previously was undiagnosed). I also have okay ECs - 9 months of a clinical job, a year of various positions in hospital volunteering (currently a trainer in the ER), RA in two labs, officer for a charity org, tutor. About 400 research hours from one lab, and I just started the second so about 10. Expecting co author on a few projects and hoping to present some posters soon. PI highly encourages individual projects and I plan to graduate with my undergrad thesis. I'm double majoring in bio and psych.

I'm considering retaking my statistics class, but I'm not entirely sure what else to do other than get all As going forward. Any help would be really great.
