On Friday, Jason saw Dr. Rosenberg at CNMC. She is one of the ophthalmologists who saw Jason while he was in PICU. Because Jason's main tumor is located behind the optic chiasm (I think this is the part of the brain where the eye nerves cross), initially, doctors suspected that his vision might be impaired. However, ophthalmologists concluded that his vision was still good and his optic nerves are still healthy.
Friday's follow up with the ophthalmologist was due to his droopy eye lid while on vincristine. Jason's neuro-oncology team wanted to make sure that Jason is not suffering any optic nerve damages from vincristine. The result was good, Dr. Rosenberg said, Jason's optic nerves still looked healthy and everything looked ok. His droopy eye lid got better since he was off from vincristine for 2 weeks.
We just need to continue to monitor Jason's eyes for any problems and follow up in 6 weeks for another check up.

I wish I had the words to say to ease your pains or provide the comfort that you need. I know that things are very difficult for you and your family and it seems like there's no end in sight, but please continue to be strong and don't ever lose hope. He looks so peaceful with laying there with his dad...
