Hi neil and Nicole,What a moving video. Our youngest daughter Annie has also suffered from Unilateral RB, and had her right eye removed two years ago when she was 14 months old. Its impossible to describe what we went through, but after a course of Chemo she is fine and you would never know she has a prosthetic eye. She is so brave and beautiful just like your daughter who will recover just like Annie has. Our thoughts are with you.Love FromAshley, Amanda, Sophie, Isabel and Annie

HI Neil,It's Joey, Steve's Sister. This video is sooo moving. I have cried so many tears for your Lindsey. I had put her photo on our fridge so we would think of her often. You did an awesome job on this video showing how she is doing and it's so uplifting to see her beautiful, beautiful face smiling. Praise God for not letting the Devil steal more from her!We continue to pray!Joey

UPDATE 11/30/07Our fears have come true...Lindsey will be going through CHEMO. The doctor wants to make sure the cancer has not spred...apparently the tumor in the left eye was all the way up front where it could have spred, so it will be done as a pre-caution.

I just got news from Sally--the latest. It is all too much to fathom--I cannot imagine what you all are suffering--you have prayer support in your extended family's family up here in Virginia. Life is cruel--thank God He is GOOD! Let others raise your arms to help you through--like Moses with Hur&Aaron. Our love to Lindsay and all of you. ~Lisandrea, Sally G's SIL

Psa 8:2 With praises from children and from tiny infants, you have built a fortress. To see how Lindsay responds to her adversity gives strength to others as her childlike faith and trust overcomes it all. this comes withprayer for you all. Lord bless
