Well today we recieved the news at the eye doctors that our beautiful baby girl that is only 9 months old has a tumor in her eye. Not one eye but both eyes, this is called retinoblastoma, and from what we were told this tumor is cancerous. I have been on an emotional roller coaster today to say the least.
This can be heriditary so they made us have Ethan (our 4 yr old son) checked out as well. He is good thank goodness.
The next stop is to get an MRI tomorrow at university and then go to the pediatrician's office to discuss what will be happening and get information on what we will need to do. Then we have an appointment set for Monday at 7:45am at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to see the specialist and i'm praying so hard that this will be quick and as painless as possible for my baby girl...
I will keep posting here at least once a day hopefully so everyone that wants to know what is going on can keep up to date with what is happening. I know we have a loving family and lots of friends that are so supportive... we love all of you... please give us lots of prayers they will be much appreciated...
Thanks,
The Hewitts'
