So I finally found the words. I told Peyton that she was going to have surgery tomorrow and that she would wake up with a big patch over her left eye. She asked just to make sure that is wasn't going to be on the eye she could she out of. Once I reassured her that is was the other eye that she couldn't see out of everything was great. She asked if she would have to go to school with the patch. I told her that we would be out of school for a while, but we could go talk to her class.
Basically, the conversation ended with "after surgery can I have whatever I want to eat?"
Everyone said this would be harder on us. Guess that is the truth.
Relieved for a minute in Philly.

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.
That's little Peyton! Yes, it is harder on everyone else except Peyton. She's just the bravest little girl we know, and we love her VERY much! Give her a big hug for us before and after surgery, and we are praying. Love to all!
