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.

Christmas Blessings...

While LeAnn and I obviously wish things were different with Cameron, we still know we’re so very blessed to have both of our wonderful sons, our family, and our friends around us during this Christmas season.  Back in March, we honestly didn’t know how long we would have with Cameron, but thanks to Dr. G, the medicines available to Cam, and most importantly…Our Heavenly Father, we were able to do so much and create so many wonderful memories over these past nine months and those memories will last a lifetime for us all.

LeAnn and I have finally come to a point where we have had to truly realize we all have a limited time on this Earth and there are no guarantees for tomorrow, so you live your life the best you can each day and never take even a second for granted.  We both have heard this our entire lives growing up in church as we did in regards to our spiritual status, but you still take it for granted until you’re faced with a true life and death situation as we’ve faced over the past two plus years.  We’re no great philosophers, religious experts, or anything else along those lines and would never presume to tell anyone else how to live, but one word of advice we would give…especially during this special time of the year when we’ll all be around family…cherish those you love all day, every day…even when they’re making you the angriest or driving you absolutely crazy.

We pray you all will have a VERY Merry Christmas and a blessed 2011.  Cam’s next scan is scheduled for January 3rd, so if you don’t hear back before then…we’ll post with the results as soon as we get them.

Lee Ann,
What a wonderful blog you created.
I sent an email to many of the folks I keep in touch with, with a link to your blog and asked them to add Cameron to their pray list.

Bless your family...
