Today's visit brought some very unexpected news. Peyton has developed a cataract in her left eye (the bad eye) which makes it hard to see if there is any tumor regrowth. Dr. Shields explained that since the Peyton since Peyton had no vision in the eye the risk of removing the cataract was greater than the reward.
We had the very difficult decision made for us. Dr. Shields said the only option was to remove the eye. Peyton has been scheduled for the enucleation on Friday here in Philly with Dr. Shields.
Please pray for Peyton. Please pray that she understands why all of this is happening. Please pray for Rich and I. We will be needing all the strength we can get through this time. Explaining all of this will be one of the toughest things we will ever have to do.
Bummed out in Philly,
Ang, Peyton and Grandma EE
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.
Me (April) and Jack will be praying for you guys. I'm sure you have all found strength you never knew you had.
