Nora is a beautiful,
adventurous, and active 20 months old girl. Nora looks and acts like
most children her age. Although Nora seems like most other children, her
life has been very different from theirs. At six months old Sarah
Turner took her daughter to the pediatrician for a checkup. During this
visit Nora was given an eye examination known as a Pediatric VEP Vision
Test. Due to the failure of this exam, Sarah was advised to bring Nora
to an ophthalmologist. The eye doctor determined that Nora was suffering
from Retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer, found in children.
Sarah Turner immediately brought her daughter to a specialist at Yale
New Haven Hospital. She was started on chemotherapy treatments and
responded positively, almost right away. Today Nora Turner is a happy
kid who loves spending time with her family, especially her sisters.
When Nora's parents were asked what their favorite feature was about
Nora the response was "Her eyes are beautiful... " and they really are.
Nora loves to play outside and she loves the beach. Look at how she
shows off those beautiful blue eyes in this photo shoot. Nora's FaceBook
