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.

Things remain "stable"

I haven't updated the blog in a while because there isn't much to update. Things in the Jackson house remain "stable". Cameron hasn't had a headache since his trip to Duke last month. We are very thankful for the fact he isn't in any pain however, he is having a lot more difficulty getting around. We went to Georgia for a few days last week and I spent one night in tears wondering what Cameron must think. Just a few months ago, he was able to run around and play with his cousins and now, he just sits there as the activity goes on around him. I cannot imagine what must go through his head and yet, as always, he never complains, ask questions, or gets mad. He's just happy to have another day...I'm just happy to be his mom.

July 11th marks the day his wonderful little self joined our family and we plan to celebrate his 10th birthday with lots of parties...three to be exact. We have ordered him a HUGE Mario Kart cake which he is super excited about. We never thought Cameron would still be with us for his birthday. So please be in prayer that these next few days are fun-filled and happy for the bravest boy I know. Love to you all.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday beautiful Cameron, happy birthday to you. (You'll have to sing that out loud because your singing voice is so much better than mine!)

Hope you're enjoying all your parties. Give your mommy a huge hug for me.
