Nearly a week has past and the waiting is over. Wee baby Iain of 3 months was taken to the doctor a week ago because Alastair and Dawn were worried about his left eye which appeared cloudy.
He was diagnosed as having a retinoblastoma, i.e. cancer of the left eye. On November 5th he was admitted to hospital in Vancouver and after an MRI scan he underwent an operation for the removal of the affected eye.
It appears that the other eye is not affected and for that everyone is so very grateful. He has come through the operation and is now back home recovering.
Thanks to the modern technology of the internet and Skype video communication as well as text messaging we have all been kept up-to-date as events unfolded. It has a been a worrying time but the worst seems to be over.
