Someone looks happy to be home!!!


Hi everyone! Most of you know by now, but we are home! It feels great to be back in sunny Florida! Sorry we haven't updated before now, but we have been getting about 3 hours of sleep each night. Cam is doing great! He is recovery nicely from his surgery. He is just having a hard time adjusting to being home. He had to keep his legs wrapped up for 2 weeks and we just were able to unwrap them yesterday. He likes being free! He looked like a merman (not a maid!) We can't tell if he is having pain or just wants to be held all of the time. He is also used to seeing someone by his side at all hours of the day and night, so when he wakes up in his crib and doesn't see us, he lets us know! We are finished weaning him off of all the meds. He doesn't have much of an appetite yet. Hopefully it will come back soon. He still loves his swing! We got a jogging stroller and he loves to go on long walks!




We are so glad to have our Jim Dog back with us! Cam has noticed Jimmy! He laughs everytime Jim comes near him and especially when Jimmy sneezes!




I don't know if you guys have seen "Hopkins". It's a reality show about Johns Hopkins. We watched it each week in the hospital. Since we left, we can't seem to bring ourselves to watch it. We lived "Hopkins" and while it is an amazing hospital, it brings back all of those long days and night we spent there.




Chad has been doing his internship all week and Cam and I have been hanging out at home.




Thank you all for following our journey with us. We have felt the love from our family and friends during this difficult time. We have also met some incredible people throughout this whole ordeal. We know that God has big plans for our little man and we feel honored to be along for the ride. We started this blog when we left for Baltimore back in October 07 so we could keep in touch with everyone back in Florida while we were away. It's funny... we met so many great people in Baltimore and from all over, that we want to keep in touch with all of you that are far away now. Cam received the most amazing care up at Hopkins. The nurses, doctors, and the others are top notch! We are so grateful for the care he got up there and we know he will be just fine because he was there. We met people from so many other states and countries while we were there. We will try to update Cam's blog every so often so you can see how much he has grown! We will be back for another surgery by the end of the year so we will update from Hopkins again! We just don't want to think about that right now! Hope you all have a great weekend and we can't wait to see everyone again soon.




Love from Deerfield!!!


Julie, Chad, Camden and Jimmy

Cam looks soooooo happy. You both have taken such exceptional care of Baby Cam and it has made a big difference in his fast recovery. What a blessing that little fella is. I agree with you that he had wonderful care by the doctors and nurses at Hopkins. They truly are #1 Looking forward to seeing you soon
Love,
Nana
