Well went to the ophthalmologist Wednesday to talk about patching and Dr. Merriam did an eye exam while we were there and wants her to wear glasses as well. So that should be fun, getting her to keep them on. While he was looking in her eyes her noticed that her right retina seems elevated?? I'm really not sure what this means and I did ask but he said he is not the specialist in her retinoblastoma so he was just going to call Dr. Shield's to let her know. Well I received a call from Dr. Shields about an hour after our appointment and stated she wanted us to come back down on the 7th of September instead of the 28th. We asked if we could change to the week before or after because Ethan starts Kindergarten and we have orientation on Tuesday with him the 6th and then his first day of riding the bus is the 7th and I really didn't want to miss that big moment.. he already feels left out enough... so they moved her appointment to 31st of this month.
We asked Dr Shield's assistant what she thought it could be but she said without Dr Shields seeing it they didn't really know but it might be nothing...
I'm so nervous because the right eye is her "good" one... ugh... I will keep everyone updated when we know more. She goes next Friday for her MRI because they want it done before we go back down... She has been through so much I just want to be in her place in stead of her she doesn't deserve all of this...
