Peyton's surgery went great. Dr. Shields said the tissue and socket looked great. It is a 6 week recovery. Then we meet with Dr. Varenhorst at home and find a ocularist to paint Peyton a beautiful new eye.
As I type this, Peyton is sleeping off the Morphine. Every once in a while she pops up with a witty remark about a conversation Grandma and I are having. This girl never misses a beat.
We are headed home tomorrow on the 6 am flight. We should be home in time to have lunch in Wichita.
I am in a much more settled state. I can now say the Peyton is truly CANCER FREE! I know that in the coming days there made be some very hard questions. I may have some of my own, but I am in a peaceful place. I can tell Peyton that we all fought for her beautiful eye, but God has a bigger plan for her.
Please continue your prayers for sweet little P. She is braver and wiser than any 5 year should ever have to be, but all of your thoughts and prayers will continue to guide her.
Love to all of my great prayer warriors. I could not have done this without all of you.

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.
She gets her toughness from you! I love both of you so much. Cannot wait to squeeze both of you!
