Ayla is a happy girl who loves to color, paint and go to gymnastics. She is involved with Children’s Ballet of San Antonio along with her brother Jaylen. She loves unicorns, LOL dolls, princesses and Gabby’s Doll House.
Ayla was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma at 4 weeks old. Her dad and brother had the RB1 gene so we had Ayla tested to determine if she had the gene as well. Tests showed that she does have the RB1 gene. She is happy wearing her glittery pink prosthetic eye.
She had laser treatment and IAC (a type of chemo) and if recall correctly, she also had cryotherapy. We struggled while she was undergoing treatments but we are okay now. Ayla and Jaylen are also Kodas (Kids of Deaf Adults). They speak ASL frequently even though they can hear.
