They say a picture says a thousand words, but in this case, it says much, much more…
We've seen time and time again how a photo just like this questionable ghost caught on camera can include more than meets the eye. Cameras can definitely play tricks on us, but when one woman saw something strange in a photo she took of her young son, her motherly instincts kicked in and she knew she had to trust her intuition.
New parents often panic at every little thing that might go wrong with their new bundle of joy, but parents with older kids know you can't think too hard about every little thing. That's why, at first, Julie Fitzgerald thought her 2-year-old son Avery's eye was normal when she noticed a slight spec of discoloration. It wasn't until Fitzgerald took a photo of her son and saw that one of his pupils came out red, while the other was pure white — something she soon learned meant much more than a bad angle — that she became concerned.
Fitzgerald brought her toddler to a doctor, who confirmed her worst fear: Avery had multiple cancerous tumors covering his left eye. However, it's very likely that the photo saved her son's life, as the cancer could have spread to his brain and blood if it had gone undetected.
Avery will get a prosthetic eye and will be tested to see if he is at risk for more cancer. Fitzgerald shared her son's story with WREX so they can hopefully help others who might be facing the same danger.
