Peyton had her first round of Intra Arterial Chemotherapy today. The procedure went very well. The doctor was able to find the femoral artery immediately and shortly after we received the news that they found the proper artery in the eye on the first try.
Once in recovery Peyton was her normal happy self most of the day and didn't not have a hard time laying still for the 6 hours. We are back in the Ronald McDonald House tonight, and she has been asleep most of the evening. We will know more about the success of the treatment in two weeks.
We are still in need of prayers that the veins in her eye will return to the normal pressure, that the chemo treatment is successful in reducing the tumor, and that Peyton recovers with some vision.
Thanks for prayers.
