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.

Day 1 went well

We woke up to a rainy morning yesterday, so we decided to hold off going to Universal Studios until either today after Mattel or tomorrow.  Instead we drove up the Pacific Coast Highway and made a quick stop to let the boys check out the beach and the Pacific Ocean.  We went up past Malibu and then came back to see what the local area had to offer.  We spent the afternoon touring around Hollywood and even went down Rodeo Drive if you can imagine our redneck family going down such a high falootin' area...wouldja please pass the jelly??  ;-)
 
I had heard of this hotdog stand called Pink's and we happened to drive by it on the way towards Hollywood.  Even though I had a hotdog for lunch, I had to stop, but the line for this place was CRAZY long, so I figured we'd try again on the way back.  No dice...it was still all the way around the building.  I'm not sure if it was other tourists like me who had heard of it or if it was locals, but it was crazy to see a line that long for a hotdog.
 
We've gone to bed around 6pm local time both nights and have been waking up around 4am, so obviously our internal clocks aren't adjusted yet.  But, I think I'd rather the boys stay on East Coast time so we don't have to try to get them adjusted back once we get home.  LeAnn and I had to laugh though...Saturday night in the big city of LA and we're in the bed and sound asleep at 6pm...too funny.
 
The limo comes at 8:10am this morning, so we're all starting to get ready this morning.  We're not allowed to video at Mattel which is a bit disappointing, but we'll take as many pictures as possible to capture the day.
