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.

Cam's feeling "well"

We were FINALLY able to get to NYC last weekend, so I've posted the pictures over to the left. Cam’s not had any headaches since the scan thanks to meds, but he’s pretty tired due to the meds whacking out his sleep patterns and everything else that’s going on. The meds have made Cam want to eat all the time, so he’s putting on weight like crazy now. We’re actually having to be careful now as to how much we give him. He’s gone from around 40 pounds at the scan to 46 last night and has a nice little belly sticking out…you can’t help but smile at him as he’s SO proud of it. It’s pretty hard to see him start out so well in the morning and see how things start wearing on him as the day progresses. He’s still taking things like he always has, with a smile and “I’m ok” every time we ask…which is VERY often. The good news is the meds have somewhat stabilized things at this moment, but we still have to view the future with the same outlook. It's all in God's hands at this point....well at every point, but you get what I mean.

One thing LeAnn and I would ask right now is to make sure any conversations with little ones be very guarded. As adults, this is a very difficult situation for us to process and even more so for children who do not always have the ability to understand and use discretion in what they might say to Cameron and Connor.

We know there are prayers going up across the country for our little boy and we so appreciate them. LeAnn and I have no idea what we need right now, so just pray for God to deliver us all through this and to help Cam be as happy and comfortable as possible through it all.

I'm so glad you were able to get to NYC after the snow changed your earlier plans. It looks like you had a great time and Cam surely got his "car fix" it seems! I'm so glad to hear that the meds are helping with the headaches. We love you and certainly you know we're here if you need us.
