Cameron was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in Febuary of 2008. After his tumor resection surgery, he underwent six weeks of radiation therapy and four months of chemotherapy. After these treatments, we went back into our "normal" lives and Cameron progressed well getting back into school and the day-to-day of being a little boy.



However, a routine MRI on March 19, 2010 showed his cancer had returned. On November 9th, 2011, Cameron finally conquered his battle with cancer when he opened his eyes to the joys of heaven. Even in these dark days, we know God has richly blessed us by putting so many wonderful people in our path during this journey and we are so very thankful for them all.

We're back at Duke

Cam has steadily worn down as the week has progressed and he spiked a fever last night, so we're back at Duke.  We pretty much have expected this to happen as we've been told it would, so it's not that we're caught off guard, we just hoped he could keep going as well as he had been...little man finally just couldn't hold up any longer.
 
The lab results showed his platelets were low and his immune system is pretty much at zero right now, so they'll keep a close eye on things and keep antibiotics going in him.  They'll start cultures, but we'll have to wait for 48 hours for those to come back to see what the next steps are.  It's more or less a waiting game at this point, so as soon as we know something, we'll update again.
