It's been interesting around here...

I will be honest, I am struggling to write this evening. I'm exhausted mentally, emotionally, physically, and at times spiritually. But I know how many people look for updates and love my little boy. It is very humbling to ponder the fact there are so many people who love and pray for us; many who don't even know who we are. Since my last post, it has been interesting around the Jackson house. Last week was a week of ups and downs. We think Cameron may have had a seizure last Tuesday. It's hard to know for sure because instead of making a flying trip to the ER, we just stayed at home and watched him closely with a million things running through our minds. The following day, Cameron slept most of the day; only waking up to eat a bite or two. We feared the worst was approaching. However, I am so happy to report that we had a terrific weekend. Cameron is still sleeping a lot but when he is awake, he is AWAKE. His little giggle is like music to my ears. His funny jokes makes us all smile. And his daily, "mommy, do you know how much I love you? More than you could ever know" are memories I'll cherish forever. Oh how ashamed I am to have taken those moments for granted with both Connor and Cameron prior to this ordeal.

Last Thursday, Cameron was up early...he simply could not wait to flip his calendar to September. As I watched the excitement in his eyes, I wondered where we all would be if we had the same enthusiasm to simply be gifted another day. Saying "we aren't promised tomorrow" is easy; living it is much harder. I think EJ and I have both gotten to the point where we refuse to be angry anymore and just take one day at a time...living, trusting, believing and praying the Lord will provide what we need to simply get through that hour, that day, that week. I'm not sure what God has in store for us in the days ahead. The fact is, it is September and Cameron being with us is simply a miracle in itself. Love to you all.
