Hi everyone. For those who we haven't been able to contact yet, on Monday, July 20th, Molly was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma is a kind of childhood cancer that affects the retina, and Molly has it in both eyes. Kalee had been worried that Molly couldn't focus on her, and was concerned about her vision. At Molly's scheduled 2-month exam, on Monday, the pediatrician took a look and referred us on to a pediatric ophthalmologist. From there we were on our way to Children's Hospital for an MRI and other tests. All to get ready for a trip to Philadelphia and to see doctors at the Wills Eye Hospital.
It's Sunday now, and God blessed us with wonderful traveling weather. We had no delays, and best of all there was room for us at the Ronald McDonald House. We've got an early morning tomorrow at Wills, and we'll just take one step at a time after that. We'll know more as the week goes on. Thank you all for all of your prayers, gifts and other help!
BTW: Kalee says that next time you see one of those coin boxes for the Ronald McDonald House, don't pass it up. Having this place available is a real blessing, it is very inexpensive, and accommodating to families.
