It's been two months

Well, it has been two months since our lives changed forever.  In reflection of what all we have been through, it seems like more than two months should have passed by.  I stand in awe as I remember the many steps we have taken over the last two months.  There is no question as to the hand of God in this traumatic journey.  From the most compassionate and wonderful doctor in Apex, to the amazing neurosurgical team at Duke who have become like our family, and on to the oncology team which is headed up by one of the most loving and gentle physicians I have ever met; it is without a doubt the Lord placed each of these individuals in the right place, at the right time, to take care of our sweet Cameron.  In two months time, Cameron has gone from the vibrant child who walked into Wake Med Apex, to a helpless six-year old fighting hard to recover from his brain surgery, and back to the vibrant, giggly child, walking again, not to perfection but remaining determined to, in his words, get “back to being Cameron.”  He has gone through a stem cell harvest, two long MRI’s, and two spinal taps.  He has gotten through a radio-oncology simulation where they molded a mask to his face for his treatments; not liking the ordeal at first but quickly adjusting to it as if it were second nature.  He’s lost all his hair yet continues to smile.  I’m amazed at Cameron’s strength and determination to get over this hurdle and live life to the fullest.  It has been through watching Cameron over the past few months that I now fully understand the words of Jesus when he spoke in Mark, Chapter 10, concerning childlike faith.  We may never know why this happened to Cameron, but we are required to trust the Lord with the same simplistic faith which Cameron trusts Him with each passing day.  Thank you all for your prayers.  To God Be the Glory for the amazing things He has done and the amazing things which He will continue to do.
