Rough Day

We had to be at Wills Eye at 7:15am this morning and did not end up leaving there to head over to CHOP for chemo until 1:00pm. Dr Shield's says she believes chloe will have 20/20 vision in her right but her left eye is still full of fluid it may take 6 months to get rid of or it may never clear out of the eye. If it does not clear out then she will not have very good vision out of the left eye and I asked and they will not go in and remove the fluid. With her right eye getting so strong she said we will start to see the left eye getting "lazy" after all the chemo is done they will give us a patch she will need to wear on her good eye to make her use the bad eye to strengthen it. Dr. Shield's said the cancer seems to be almost gone from both eyes what is remaining of the tumors is non cancerious which is great news... I am still sad a little that it does not sound good for her left eye but i'm going to be optomisitc... they had to give some other special medicine while doing the cryo today so she has to keep a patch on her eye until tomorrow night.
When we got to CHOP for chemo she was not happy and half way through chemo they gave her some morphine for the pain. We got done with chemo around 6pm so it has been a very long day and we are all very tired. I will get back on here tomorrow and update everyone on how she is doing.
