So we are back from our appointment at TO Sick Kids. What a fantastic hospital! Not a whole lot new in the way of information. Same exams and same ultrasound. But yes, we are booked in for a MRI tomorrow at 1:00pm!!! We will be given the results tomorrow as well! We are so thankful that tomorrow we will KNOW what that growth is doing. The two doctors we saw today were pretty much convinced it is Retinoblastoma as well. The head doctor is talking about taking out Charlie’s eye next week already. We will be thankful beyond words if that is the only treatment Charlie needs. Some kids go down such a long and painful road. But we are still a little bit sad about this. He is losing one of his eyes due to cancer. He will never look quite the same to us. We were told that his prosthetic eye might be able to move back and forth a little bit, but not up and down. He will also have to wear “fake” glasses every day. I never thought of this, but it makes sense. If a kid only has one real eye we better make sure it’s protected.
Adrian and I are going to find him some fab retro glasses. : )
So tonight Adrian and I are taking it easy, hanging out with Charlie, thanking God for tomorrows MRI and praying for good results. With love, Kate
We're praying along with you!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite actors had a glass eye - Peter Falk/Columbo. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you have an MRI appointment already. Praise the Lord!
I am praying that if the cancer diagnosis is confirmed that it is contained and that chemo and/or radiation isn't needed.
ReplyDeleteContinue to blog, its cathartic and you will touch more people then you will ever know!
Praying for you all. Amazed at how God is working everything out so quickly, but then I guess we shouldn't be surprised, we have an awesome God who is also holding Charlie in the palm of His hand.
ReplyDeleteWill keep praying..... Praise God for the medical technology today.....
