Cam's had enough!

Hi everyone! This picture of Cam (well the blanket and his arms) shows us that he has had enough of this hospital!!! Just kidding. He is actually doing really well. He seems content and happy most of the time. When the nurses come to his bedside, he pulls the blanket or his shirt over his head! It is the funniest thing! Also, when he wants to go to sleep, he pulls the blanket over his head. He can sleep with the blanket over him at the hospital because he is hooked up to all sorts of machines, but when we get home, he is going to have to forget the blankets. I think it has something to do with the light and noise in the hospital!

Chad is on his way back home today. It is always hard when he leaves, but he will be back on Thursday. My mom is still up here so Cam is getting spoiled by Nana.

We had fun celebrating Chad's birthday in the hospital. The nurses helped us decorate the halls and Cam's room and then they came parading down the hall singing Happy Birthday! He said he felt like he was at the Olive Garden! We all ate yummy cake and then Chad and I went to the Orioles game for a birthday date! It was nice to get some fresh air, even though it rained on us a little. The Mays family gave us tickets to the game and the seats were awesome. We were on the 5th row right next to 1st base!

So many people have sent us nice packages. The Trentecoste family (Cathy was our labor and deilvery nurse at Hopkins) sent us a wonderful selection of fruit, The Schneider family sent us tons of goodies to eat and magazines to read (The National Enquirer was very entertaining!), Brandy, Brett and boys sent us this great a Game Time basket with great snacks and checkers!! The Mitchell Family (who we met at The Children's House) sent us this super soft blanket with a Bible verse on it. Each of you are so creative and thoughtful! Thank you so much! The many cards have been so uplifting! Each one is appreciated! We are so blessed by our friends and family. We couldn't get through this difficult time without all of your thoughts and prayers. We can't wait to see each of you soon!

As it stands now, Cam will have an xray on July 14 (next Monday) and then things will start rolling. I hope we are home by the end of July so we can enjoy a few weeks of Florida summer. It is kind of cool here for July. Last night I wore long sleeves and pants and was a bit chilly! I know I'm a wimp, but I love the Florida heat!!!

We miss you all!
Julie, Chad, Camden and Nana
