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.

It's Thursday already

Needless to say, it has been an exciting week.  We are still in the Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant unit and honestly, we somewhat like it here.  The rooms are spotless, the nurse is right outside the door and while his "contact isolation" for MRSA kept him inside the room most of the time on 5100, he is actually able to get to the playroom here (with a gown, mask, and gloves of course) and have a little fun.  The good news is that is urine output is getting back to normal an they've cut off the Dopamine to make sure he will be able to have steady urine output on his own.  We are still a go for stem cell reinfusion tomorrow but discharge may have to wait until Monday considering the problems he had through the week.  We, of course, are praying that he continues to improve and "home" will come sooner rather than later.
 
We'll updated again tomorrow with hopefully a better idea when we can go home.  I would bet it will depend on how he does tonight with his output and how stem cell reinfusion goes tomorrow.
