Happy 7 months old!

Hi from Baltimore. We have had a whirlwind of a few days. We're not really sure where to begin....Today Camden is 7 months old. We put up his play gym in his bed and he loves to play with his toys! Of course today was Bingo and we won new links for our gym! Chad even got into Bingo today so I had to share my board with him! This morning a group of professional BMX and skateboards came to visit the children in the hospital. It was outside on the 3rd floor playdeck so Cam couldn't go. Chad and I went for him and got to talk to one really nice BMX guy named Jamie Bestwick. He has a 3 year old son so we shared stories about our little guys. There is a big event here this weekend at Camden Yards so they are here to compete.

Cam's procedure went well yesterday. He went into surgery at 2 pm and was finished by 3. He had a tough time waking up from the anesthesia. Once he woke up a part of his fixator came lose and we had to page the orthopedic doctor at midnight. He came to fix it and they took an xray this morning and everything looked like it did in last week's xray. He is still having trouble with his medication, but I think that is going to be a battle until we get out of here. We also removed the air mattress he has been laying on to see if that will help keep him still.

Jack, Leslie, Mark and Izzy came to visit us yesterday! It was such a fun time! Jack is as cute as he can be and all the nurses were so excited to see him. He was almost walking by himself through the halls! Jack and his family have been such an inspiration to us! They brought Cam a Veggie Tales video and some wonderful homemade salsa and chips! We know that God is in control of this whole situation because we were having a rough day and it really brought our spirits up to see them.

We continued to be showered with love from home! We received some beautiful flowers from Anita and her family. The cards are so appreciated! We are hoping to have an uneventful next few weeks. This Friday we will be at the halfway point. Thanks for following our journey with us. We will be so happy to have this part behind us. Here is the picture of Chad and the BMXer.

Love,

Julie, Chad and Cam
