Well yesterday was a very bad day for Cameron...and an emotional day for us. He woke up, ate breakfast, and then immediately went back to sleep. He slept all day...and I mean all day. He would wake up occasionally and moan that his head hurt and then go right back to sleep. EJ and I started meds here to control his pain and remained in and out of tears all day. Words simply cannot express how heartbreaking it is to watch your child suffer. Around 5pm, he finally "woke up" and said he was hungry however, he got sick when he tried to eat. But when I offered to go get him a Dairy Queen mint oreo blizzard later in the evening, he smiled and said "sure". And he ate every bit of it and kept it down. He slept well and woke up this morning bright eyed and ready to go to the mall; a complete 180 from what he was yesterday. So as I said, the roller coaster continues. I can't thank you all enough for your notes and prayers...please keep them coming.
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.

Please tell Cameron that Erin has been asking about him and thinking of him a lot these days. Our entire family has been keeping all of you in our prayers. You are an amazing family who has taught us to cherish every moment and not get caught up too much in earthly wants. Sending you positive thoughts and angels to watch over you.
Erin Schlachter and family
Still praying for you all.
