More updates on CamCam

There's a lot on my mind right now with Katie being in the hospital, Camden's impromptu trip to the ER (feeding tube fell out again) yesterday, and me starting part time at work next week! But I wanted to make sure everyone knew that Camden is at 25 lbs now! (Okay, so his baby brother Luke is only 7 lbs behind him at a chunky 18--whatever!!). And to follow up with my last post, the Neuro said she did not think Camden has had any seizures, which was good news.

Yesterday after the ER trip, Camden seemed to be acting as if nothing had happened so we kept his PT and Speech appts at Wolfsons. Lisa said he rocked on the walker and I got to meet CamCam's newest Speech therapist(this is his 6th!). I was pleased to see that she is a fellow Nole and starts and ends each session w/ some practical OT excersizes: tomahawk chopping and war chants! She also knows her stuff and I got to see what her and Daddy have been working on with Cam. She holds 2 pictures up, one of a banana and one of a monkey and asks him which one he wants. If he choses the monkey, she'll have him distinquish between 2 wooden cutouts, of a monkey and a banana (to see if he'll pick the one he just chose). He gets them right almost everytime, but yesterday missed a few because he was wiped out after the traumatic trip the ER (I won't lie, he screamed and turned tomato-red when they forced the new tube back into the canal) plus the workout Ms. Lisa gave him.

But it was another reminder of how much we've been blessed with: Dedicated therapists, caring teachers, supportive Church, friends and family and Camden's can-do attitude and determined efforts. All of these ingredients (plus the special ingredient--prayer) will produce some very sweet results.

I am so glad Cam is doing so well. What kind of work will you be doing part time? Will you get to spend more time with the boys? That would be so awesome!

Lots of good news. I'm with the others who want to hear more about the part-time job. Was it your idea or theirs? LOVE, Mom
