Peyton had her physical here in Wichita today. She has to have these check-ups each time before we go to Philadelphia. The pediatrician thinks Peyton is doing pretty well. She finally gained a little weight and is up to 41.6 lbs. Of course she grew again in height and is up to 44 in tall! She grows out of shirts and shoes on a monthly basis. I asked the doctor to see if he thought her left eye had any reaction at all to light, so he performed a few little tests. In his opinion, Peyton sees absolutely nothing with her left eye. She gets around pretty darn good for only having sight in one eye!
We are preparing for our trip to Philadelphia on the 16th. Although this trip is for a check-up, it seems to be of utmost importance. The team of specialists from Wills Eye Institute will put Peyton under anesthesia and take critical measurements of the tumor. Hopefully, all of it remains dead and no growth is found. Also, we should find out if the retina has any chance of re-attaching. We are on pins and needles and very anxious to get this trip over with.
Please continue to pray for Peyton as I know many of you are! We have been showered with donations and prayers the last few weeks and would like to let all of you know how much we appreciate them. It's truly amazing what all of you have done for us, and we are so very thankful for every single one of you!
We love you all,
The Adams Family
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.
