Prayers for Cameron

In my last post I said that we thought Cameron had something called Toxic Synovitis, well, he doesn't have that.  After 11 hours in the ER at Primary Children's Hospital on Monday and an MRI yesterday and a visit with his pediatrician today, we are still not sure what's wrong with him.   He can't walk and is getting weaker everyday.  The pain in his leg that was hurting him so much seems to be gone, but now his legs are just weaker and more wobbly as are his arms and hands.  Tomorrow we go back to Primary Childrens to see a Neurologist and run more tests.  Seeing my once energertic, loud, crazy 5 year old not even be able to stand up on his own is so hard.

It has been three full days of doctors and who knows how many more to come.  I used to wish that my life were a little more interesting as per my "Am I Lazy" post last week!  But after this week and these three days of not seeing my baby or Colby (they have been staying at Mark's parents, we could not do this without them) I would give anything to have my normal uninteresting life back, to have all three of my boys tucked snug in thier beds at my house. 

As hard as this has been watching my child go through this and not knowing what is wrong, I have faith in the power of the priesthood and preisthood blessings.  I have faith that Cameron will heal and be ok.
To all of my friends and family that read this, please keep Cameron in your prayers, I know that prayers are answered.   Thanks so much.

I am so sorry you are going through such a hard thing. I think it is just as hard or harder for the mom to watch than it is even for the kid who is sick.
We love you and are praying for you!

YES, I cried SEVERAL times!! We went through this for 13 months and now get scanned every 6-so I STILL cry! BUT, the hardest part is NOW. It's the unknown!! Once you know what you're up against, things are easier...MUCH easier and time will go by faster. Now I'm sure it's standing still! Hang in there. Look at it as it's time for your faith to be tested and a source of growing, that's what I had to tell myself daily! ((HUGS)) and prayers!!!
