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.

No complaints out of me...

I'm not a superstitious person but sat down to update the blog on Friday night and ended up not doing so because it seems each time I write "we have had a good few days" something crazy happens. Totally desiring a calm and peaceful weekend, I held my update until tonight and I am happy to report that we had a pretty uneventful weekend. And lately, uneventful is blissful for the Jackson's. Even though Cameron slept most of the day on Saturday, he wasn't in a lot of pain which is a complete blessing. And while he slept, I continued to decorate my house for Christmas...in October. It makes me smile each time I walk into a room with shorts on and see the tree standing there!!! Today, Cameron slept most of the day away but when he woke up around 3pm, he was ready to get out of the house so we went to the mall and walked around for a few hours and then stopped by Target where he found FOUR new Hot Wheels. As I type, he is still awake and anxiously waiting for an Ebay auction to end; he can't sleep until he knows he won the car! Haha!!!

So another week passes by and we continue to put one foot in front of the other. As with Cameron's pain, our emotions are up and down too. But I just have to say, I am delighted I serve a God who understands my fears, worries, and anger at times and yet faithfully continues to pour out grace sufficient to get me through each passing day. Love to you all...

God bless you, EJ, and your sweet boy, Cam. I had no idea your family was going through all that you are. We live so near you, and I have a disabled son, so there has been lots to learn through the years. I am praying for you and your family...to the One who hears and bottles all our tears.
