Peyton went under anesthesia today at Wesley Hospital in Wichita. Dr. Varenhorst did his exam and all went fairly well. The tumor and seeds all appear to be dead still. However, her retina is STILL not re-attaching. The doctors are pretty much saying that we need to understand that it is most likely not going to happen. Dr. Varenhorst agrees that the patch procedure is not a great idea with Peyton. With that being said, he is going to confer again with the doctors in Philadelphia, and they will come up with a plan.
Peyton was a trooper once again, and has made so many friends at the hospital. Mommy and Daddy surprised Peyton with an early Easter basket of goodies and a life-sized Dora balloon. She was soooo excited.
A special thanks to Dr. Varenhorst who has been ever so helpful during this whole process. Also, a special thanks to Pastor Jerred for spending some time with us this morning.
Now, we have an MRI on Monday and a trip to Philadelphia in two months. Thanks to all for the continued prayers.

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.
