I just wanted to update the blog tonight to let everyone know that Cameron is back at Duke. He fought a low-grade fever throughout the night on Thursday night, but never went over the magic number they look for to truly call it a fever. Since we never hit the magic number, we didn't take him in to the ER because we knew they would just sit there and wait for him to hit the number to send us up to 5100 or to send us home if it didn't. So why wait there when we could wait here; especially since it remained relatively low.
Once the sun appeared, I paged the nurse practitioner and a few hours later, when the fever had not subsided, I took him on into clinic. Dr. G was waiting for us with great news…admission. His plan with the Vanc did work; no signs of serious distress in Cameron thus far. However, he wanted to monitor him over the weekend just to make sure…I do love that man!!! He looks after my boy. Turns out, Cameron’s hemoglobin was low and he needed a transfusion anyway. As I left this evening, he was in the midst of his transfusion and while he felt poorly, he was still his sweet and compliant self. He’s shed a few tears today wanting to go home so please pray for his peace and understanding. I know the months at Duke are starting to wear on him! But as Dr. G put it, after this stay, only two more hospital stays if he continues the way he has thus far. Praises to our King for that!!!

LeAnn, I guess since Cameron did need the transfusion, it was good you ended up admitting him to the hospital. I can only imagine how hard this is for him. He is obviously so sweet, but even a sweet child can get tired of medical procedures! There are many praying for him, including the best prayer warriors at my church. Love, Aunt Jan
