Back from pedi about Sam's eye

Yodajo

I don't know if anyone remembers me posting about this last week.  Sam had a photo taken of him where his eye looked funny and somebody here mentioned getting it checked out because it lloked similar to photos taken of other kids that were diagnosed with retinoblastoma.  I really thought it was just a fluke with the way the flash hit his eye, but it was bugging me and I didn't want to live with any "what ifs", so I took him in. 

The pedi said he is fine, no problems with his eye at all.  I thought she was going to think I was overreacting for bringing him in, but she said that I was definitely right to bring him in.  She said that she has diagnosed a case of retinoblastoma before that was first noticed based on a photo like Sam's.  Here's  the photo again just to inform you guys in case you ever encounter it.

That is great that everything is OK! And I know you must feel better having gotten it checked out.

Wow ... I had no idea what it was so I googled it.  I think that's one of those cases where its definitely better to be safe than sorry.  I'm glad everything is okay!

I'm so glad he's fine!

I remember hearing a story like that on the news not to long ago where a girl posted her DD's pic on a message board (maybe even this one) and one of the moms told her to check it out and she did and thank God because her DD did have something major.

Thank God your DS is ok and yay for you being proactive!

I'm so glad everything turned out to be nothing.  When I paged you I went to do it like 3-4 times because I didn't want to freak you out but in the end I knew that I would feel horrible if there really was something wrong & I didn't say anything.
