Praise God

Cameron's surgery went really good today. We are very thankful. The doctors are very happy with how it went and how Cameron is doing. They are hoping to try to take the breathing tube out tonight or tomorrow, most likely tomorrow. We hope and pray he can get it out soon and it can stay out.

Thanks for your prayers!

God Knows Best!

Cameron has been doing really good. He has been full of smiles and he likes to talk to us. The plan is to move forward with surgery tomorrow. The doctors hope to start the surgery between 8-10:30am. Most likely the surgery will take most of the day. We are hoping and praying all goes well and Cameron has a quick recovery. They said normally it take 2 weeks, sometimes less for recovery after this surgery. Most of all we are praying that God's Will will be done, He knows best.

Thanks so much for your prayers!

Thankful!

Cameron's blood cultures and other tests all came back negative. We are so thankful that he is getting over the flu and blood infection. Cameron should be able to have his surgery still on the 30th as long as he continues to do good this next week. He is still in oxygen, but will probably need it until his surgery. Cameron is gaining weight and is now over 11 pounds. The more he gains between now and the surgery the better.

Surgery Nov. 30th

For the past ten days, we have been fighting the influenza and trying to all get better. I'm feeling a lot better, but not 100% yet. Cameron was doing a lot better and then yesterday he had a fever and his nose was more stuffy again. They did some blood cultures and tests to make sure no more problems have developed. We are waiting for those results back and we are hoping and praying everything looks good. Today he seems to be feeling a lot better and I hope to try to bottle feed him today for the first time since we have been back in hospital. On Monday, Cameron's broviack line for his antibiotics stopped working. They did an x-ray and discovered that the line was no longer in the right spot. Cameron still needs one antibiotic until the surgery, so on Tuesday he went to the cath lab to get the old line removed and put a new line is his groin/leg. I was really nervous about it because it seems like every time he goes to the cath lab something bad happens. The procedure went really good and he was able to get the breathing tube out while he was still in the cath lab. Cameron is slowly gaining more weight. He also started cooing and talking a lot more this week. On Monday, Cameron got a new cousin. My brother Jacob and sister-in-law Beth had a baby girl, Melea Rose. She was born on Jordan's birthday and they took her home yesterday.

Cameron's second surgery has been scheduled for November 30th. We are hoping that the flu is all cleared up by then, so the surgery doesn't have to be postponed. As long as the surgery is the 30th and the surgery goes good, the doctors are hoping to get us home for Christmas.

Sick Again

Cameron was moved to the rehab hospital on Thursday, but we were only there a couple days. When I got to Cameron's room Saturday morning, he was on oxygen because he oxygen level was low. He was stuffed up and coughing. A PICU doctor that knows Cameron was there to see what was going on with him. Soon it was decided we needed to get transported back to the main hospital. When at the main, they swabbed his nose and soon found out he had the worst influenza. We were told that it will probably get worse before it gets better and that sometimes this flu takes a long time to get over.

Yesterday Cameron had a pretty good day, but has been pretty miserable today. He has been more stuffed up and has needed a lot more oxygen. Now I am sick also and Jordan is starting to get sick. We are hoping and praying that we will all soon get over this.
