PROGRESS

Cameron has been making AMAZING PROGRESS!! His spirits have been lifted with the help of fun visits from family member and from a higher power. Last night, at midnight, when I finally convinced him it was time for bed, I was rubbing his back and he said, "Mom, I wish no one couldn't walk and I wish no one got sick, even bad guys." Again his sweet spirit melted my heart. These tender moments with my son are priceless for me and I hate to miss one minute, so on nights like tonight when it's my turn to be home, my heart longs to be there. Although to be able to put my Hayder baby to bed and cuddle with him and watch wipe out video's with Colby was priceless too. No matter if I am at the hospital or at home, my heart it always tugged in two directions.

Also, there is no way I can ever thank my parents and Mark's parents enough, but I will say Thank You in every post so they know we don't forget how much they are doing for us and know we appreciate all of it. Marks mom kept Hayden today so that my mom and dad could spend some time at the hospital. Mark drove me home and so we got to have a little time together too. I am quite sure that Cam was totally spoiled by GMa and GPa! Some of Cam's friends from the neighborhood came by to visit today too. Cam asked if they could come back tomorrow! Thanks Jayne and Valerie for bringing your kids down! And tonight Cam's favorite Utah cousin came down from Ogden, Brandi brought Adrian and although I was not there I am sure Cam had a CRAZY time with Adrian! Oh, and Uncle Ryan brought Jacob back again this morning before they had to head back to AZ. Thanks so much to Ryan too for driving Jake to the hospital everyday this past weekend, Cameron loved every minute!

Cameron with the Physical Therapist. Despite being very nervous, he did great! Ms. Lisa was very impressed with his effort.

This is a picture of Cam's doctor/nurse poker. If they are hurting him he pokes them! In a children's hospital, the CHILDREN are in CHARGE!!

I am pretty sure that without Aunt Emily here to visit Cameron, that he would still be sick! She has a way of making his day every time she comes to town! Last night she brought a PARTY to Cam's room. They threw darts (plastic forks) at blown up rubber gloves, made party hats, had treats and played games! Thank you so so so so so so so much Emily. Are you sure you had to go back to Vegas?

When Cameron asked Colby to push him in his wheel chair,

I CRIED. It was AWESOME to see Colby serving his brother that way and having fun doing it.

Even though Cam wasn't at GMa's to have fun with Jake, they managed to have fun anyway in the hospital!!

Because one of the side effects of GB is double vision, which Cam has sometime, he got a SUPER COOL PIRATE EYE PATCH!!! You should hear his Jack Sparrow voice too!

It doesn't get any more touching than this. Finally asleep with his new Webkinz Gecko that he named RAMON after his favorite Nurse! I sit and stare at the heart rate monitor all night making sure he's ok, if I could hook all of my kids up to those things at night I would. Watching the lines and the numbers beeping across the screen... it really was a time of meditation for me. The human life is AMAZING and so fragile. How can anyone not believe that there is a GOD? Who else could make such intricate, delicate, perfect things as people?
