We finally made it home! Peyton's left eye is swollen and red, but she seems to be dealing with it rather well. It is quite the adventure applying the eye drops and creme. Peyton's leg also has a big bruise from the cathedar. Overall, she is recovering slowly, but we do see some good signs. Peyton is a tough kid and she will beat this horrible disease!
Also, Thanks again to all those who continue to support us. Angie's parents were with us every step of the way and we couldn't have done this without them. Rich's parents/family joined us in Philadelphia for a few days and also provided some much needed support. We have sooo many wonderful friends and we are blessed to know all of you.
*** I would also like to share two uplifting things that occurred in Philadelphia that we all thought were kind of neat.
#1- Peyton received an autographed photo from the boxer, Smokin Joe Frazier. He is praying for Peyton as well, and wrote some kind wishes on Peyton's autographed photo.
#2- Peyton's name was announced over the intercom on one of our flights. She was announced as a very special passenger, and she got to sit in the cockpit after we landed. The pilots thought she was hilarious.
Our Daughter, Peyton was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma on September 14, 2010. We were immediately sent to Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia, PA to see a specialist. This is the story of Peyton's treatment and recovery.
We thank the Lord for your safe return home, and for the strength to get you all through all of the medical part of the trip...and very thankful that Peyton is a very strong little girl....Hugs to you all and praying for better days..Love you guys...
