We have had a few eventful days!!! As you can see from the other pictures, Cam is out of bed and we can hold him! It is the best feeling to hold him again! He is so heavy and long!!! The pins and fixator were removed on Thursday and two stints were removed today. He only has one more tube in his little body. Yesterday he was going through a little bit of withdrawal from all of the medications he has been on. They are slowing weaning him but he is showing some signs of withdrawal so they had to slow it down a little more. He has done ok for the past 12 hours so hopefully we can keep weaning tomorrow. The plan is to have an ultrasound of his kidneys Sunday or Morning, then remove his last tube and leave the hospital 24 hours later!!! I can't believe we are actually saying, "Leave the hospital!!!" We will stay at the Children's House for a few extra days and then hopefully we will be on our way home by the weekend!!!!
We had a few visitors yesterday! Our friends, Merryl and Austin Reynolds were up here for a some doctors appointments and they stopped by to see little man. I have known the Reynolds family for a long time and had the privilege to teach Chrissy and Austin. It was so nice to see friends from Florida! They have been so helpful to us through this whole ordeal.
Cam is keeping Daddy, Nana and me busy! He loves to read books and watch Veggie Tales. We are counting days the days til we get out of the hospital. We have had such a good experience here with the nurses, doctors and everyone else who works here. We thank God everyday for bringing us to this hospital for Cam's care.
We'll keep you posted on Cam's big exit from the hospital! It may take us three wagons to get out of here. One for Cam and 2 for all of his stuff!

Congratulations on Cam getting out of the hospital. I hope you do make it home this weekend. I imagine he is not going to want to sit still for the drive home!
Glad to see the little boy is doing so well. I think of you often. We are at the Childrens house now and Sammy is sleeping. So nice to see the pictures of your beautiful little boy. He reminds me of ours! Best of luck and keep in touch.
Love,
Molly and Sammy Klimas
