Hey everyone~
Cam got his xray this morning! It was orginally scheduled for Monday and yesterday we heard that they would do it on Friday. This morning the Ortho team came in and said they were taking the xray this morning!!! Everything on the xray looked good so the pins and fixator come out and off tomorrow morning at 6 !!!! This means we get to hold Cam! We are so excited! Chad is flying back tomorrow and he is going to try to take an earlier flight. All of the nurses can't wait to hold him too! They are going to be lined up outside of his room! I'm going to have to fight off Chad, Nana and all of the nurses!! Once the pins come out, they will wait a few days and then start removing the tubes. If all goes well, he could be out of the hospital by early next week!! Today is day 40. It's hard to believe we have been here this long. He has had a great day. But I can tell he is ready to move around. He has been flat on his back for 5 weeks and 5 days. Thanks for all of the prayers.. they have been heard and answered!
I finally went to see the Jesus Statue at the hospital. It is breathtaking. The story behind how Hopkins got its name is pretty cool too. A man named Johns Hopkins (Johns was his great-grandmother's madien name) became a successful business man and wanted to give back to the community. He wanted a hospital that would serve all people so he donated 7 million $ and started the hospital and university. This was back in the 1800's. This statue has remained in the hospital and it has been said that is why so many miracles take place here. God truly has blessed this hospital. There is a book that you can write a note in and leave a picture. We did that for Cam today.
Please pray for the little girl next to Cam. She was in a near-drowning accident. She is the most beautiful little girl. Her family is so strong.
I have enjoyed spending quality time with my mom and I know she has loved being here with Cam. We read him a book last night and he laughed through the whole thing! His spirit is so bright. I am so glad he didn't lose that sparkle while he was stuck in bed. If anything, he is even more animated than before! The picture is with 4 nurses who love Cam so much!
Hopefully tomorrow we can post some pictures of him sitting up or going for a wagon ride around the hospital! Keep the prayers coming!
Love,
Julie, Chad, Cam and Nana
