Cam's doing great!

I wanted to quickly update the blog to let you all know that Cameron is doing great!!!  We went back to clinic yesterday and his counts were good and for the first time since chemotherapy, he did not require any blood products.  YEAH!  This is a great sign that his body has bounced back and is now just trying to recover on its own.  They have started weaning him off his TPN; trying to get him to eat and drink more on his own.  This is a bit of a battle.  Just the presentation of food makes him think he will “spit” so I believe we are going to have to encourage him for several weeks to continue to try to eat.  His central line appears to be in its last days so they are trying to get the OR scheduled for next week to get that out.  He popped the stitches a month or so ago around his line and it has just slowly began to ease its way out.  Needless to say, his dressing changes this week have been a nightmare as his skin is really raw around where the line enters his chest.  But the best news of all is that he has not had any vomiting since Monday.  We have dealt with early morning nausea for months now and finally, he appears to be over that.  What a blessing!  He is such a resilient little guy and it just makes my heart sing to see him back to his playful self.  He still has a long recovery and one more trip to the OR to go but as of now, he is doing great and so happy to be done with his treatments.  To God be all the glory for Cameron’s life!
