Cam’s counts rebounded VERY well from this first round of Chemo. LeAnn took him to his clinic visit this morning and Dr. G. fully expected him to need platelets, but Cam being Cam, has yet again baffled them by having GREAT counts across the board. It’s a small victory, but it’s still a good sign of him being able to tolerate the chemo well at this early stage. He never ceases to amaze me…
As we were headed to church yesterday for the Easter service, we had the radio on the local Christian station and I was absorbed in a bit of self-pity being apprehensive about facing the crowd at church. All of a sudden I hear Cam’s voice from the back start singing the Todd Agnew song “Grace Like Rain” playing on the radio. He starts belting out…” Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me. Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away”. It both encouraged me and broke my heart at the same time. Here is a child in the fight of his life simply enjoying the beautiful Easter day God had given us even though he has every right to be sad and I’m wallowing in my own little pity party because I’m nervous to face people who love and care about us. I know I’m very biased, but he is such an inspiration…even at 8. I hope I can be like him some day.

Ernest, you touch me with your honesty. I so admire your honesty and compassion. Cameron is ministering to you. Please know that everyone wants to show you that love also.
Hey Ernest, After reading scriptures all week dealing with the resurrection (in preparation for teaching a SS lesson)I can truthfully say I was more prepared to worship on Sunday morning than some past Resurrection Sundays! So, I was already feeling very blessed when I turned the corner and saw you and the boys coming toward me in the hallway. To be reminded of Cam's childlike faith and to see your devotion to your family in action...just icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing with us. You are always in our prayers. Kathy
