I am copying a pasting from an email I wrote today to tell the story about our day... Sorry if it sometimes seems out of context.
Brianna's pupils are dramatically different sizes (have been for a month or so) and we were referred to a pediatric opthamalogist to examine her. Todd took her to the appointment this afternoon. The Dr. said that she either has two extremes: either she is just normally that way and the reason for this difference is completely benign or she may have neuroblastoma. Obviously we have to take this very seriously. They were referred back to our pediatricians office for a 24 hour urine test to check for levels of hormone in Brianna's system. The pediatrician and eye doctor thought it very important we see the pediatric oncologist (man to even say that...) right away tomorrow morning. They will determine what imaging and bloodwork needs to be done to determine whether or not it is neuroblastoma. Our appointment is for 9am on Friday morning(tomorrow). I do not know how long the appointment will take, what they will do, or if we will need to go directly for imaging...
The good news out of a crappy day... Brianna was all smiles and a happy happy girl today. So even though she was being examined literally from head to toe, she took it all in stride.
Please help us pray for the best tomorrow and from here on out for our little girl!
