Colt is the most loving and caring child I’ve ever met. He has such a big personality and is so full of life. He loves football, ninja turtles, toy story, playing with his blocks and cars, and most importantly he loves our boxer.
On October 10, 2016 Colt was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma. Hiss left eye was going inward (like a lazy eye). We also noticed his eyes were two different colors and when we would take pictures there was a glow in his left eye. This is a common sign of Retinoblastoma.
He under went 6 rounds of intra arterial chemotherapy. He continues to go under anesthesia every 2 months for eye exams and every 6 months for MRIs under anesthesia. He has lost majority of his vision in his left eye and only has peripheral vision and now wears glasses.
Cancer has allowed us to see things in a totally different way. Everything happens for a reason. I hope by sharing our story another family will benefit from it and maybe catch it sooner than we did.
