So, no big surprise here, Marcus can see. We went to the eye doctor yesterday to have Marcus's eyes checked. They said his retinas look just fine and that at some point in his life he will need glasses, just like anyone else! No big deal. It was recommended that Marcus have his eyes checked just because Molly has the bilateral form of retinoblastoma. I have no concerns about his vision. That boy can see tiny little airplanes, way up in the sky!
Molly is doing pretty good. I think she might be a little nauseous because she got a little sick this morning. She hadn't for days, so I don't know what that was about. She has her appetite back in full force! It seems to me like she is focusing a little more on objects. I am excited to go to Philadelphia to see how the tumors are responding to the chemo. I really do think she can see more now, than before.
Molly did have to receive platelets on Tuesday. We have to go back tomorrow to see if she needs to have more or if her numbers are OK. But, I will tell you, you would never know she is sick. She is so happy and playing and eating! Thank you all for all of your thoughts and continued prayers! We are a 1/3 of the way done with chemo!

Kalee and Matt,
You don't know me, but I was asked by a friend (Miranda)to pray for you all. I have an 8 yr. old son who was diagnosed with Melanoma of the Eye this year in Jan. and we spent 5 days in the Barnes Children's Hospital in St. Louis with a radiation patch sewn onto his eye. Since Miranda told us about Molly - my son Noah and I have been lifting her and you all up in our prayer Every night! We are believing for full healing and restoration of sight! I have also been praying specifically for you all, that God continues to give you strength and hope! God is good and he has you and Molly in the palm of his hand. He has it in control!
Anyway, I asked Miranda this week for an update and she shared this website with me! I was SO excited to tell Noah that we now have pictures of Molly so we can SEE who we've been praying for!!!! Please know that ALL of you will continue to be in our daily prayers and that we are believing for a miracle!!!! BTW - Noah's tumor has shrunk and when we went back in July, the Dr. said we don't have to go back till Jan. Praise the Lord!!!
Keep believing for your miracle!!!
Much love,
