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.

Another week goes by...

It's been week since my last post and things remain about the same. Cameron had a pretty good week. He spent lots of time at the kitchen table doing art projects. Mr. Mize (his teacher) came by with some art supplies from the art teacher at Salem Elementary which made Cameron's day. He has become quite the artist these days and I have to fight him to keep his precious drawings because he wants to give them all away. :-) Ms. Germano and Cameron have been working on a school penguin project which they finished up this afternoon.

Today we had a VERY special visitor. The weekend we first arrived at Duke some three years ago, we met a 2nd year neurosurgery resident; the doctor who gave Cameron the name "Action Jackson." Cam instantly just fell in love with him, as did we all, and we have stayed in contact with him over the past three years. This morning he came over and spent the morning with us and brought "Action" a model of his car...a silver Nissan 350Z. It was such a great visit and made me realize even in the midst of this nightmare, God managed to arrange things perfectly where we would meet the most amazing doctors to take care of our precious son.

This week is a big one for our family. Connor turns 13...AHHHH!!!! We are hoping to make it a special week for him despite the craziness going on around us. He deserves it and more. Please be in prayer we have an uneventful week to enjoy, and spoil, Connor! Love to you all.
