Hanging in there...

Hey,

Sorry we didn't post yesterday. Cam was having a great day of just sleeping until we noticed around 6 pm that his IV had come out. You know Cam, he can't stand to have all of these wires and tubes in him! So it was a pretty traumatic night getting it restarted. Two great nurses from the NICU came up to restart it. When he has surgery, they start off using a mask to sedate him and then they put all of the lines in so he doesn't feel them. Anyway, it is back in. Chad spent the night with him and neither one of them slept very much. They are both sleeping now! We hope to have a calm day. The doctors are still happy with his progress.
Cam's friend, Luke, had surgery yesterday and he is moving to the floor today. Yesterday, a pastor in the Baltimore area came by to visit Cam. He is a friend of one of my cousins. He came to visit several times when were up here this summer. He reminds us of Dan Myers, our friend and one of the pastors at our church back home. My school's Christmas Play is tonight. I haven't missed one in almost 10 years. It is always such a joy to see the students present the true meaning of Christmas. Cam would have loved all of the music.
On a sad note, a former student of mine was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident on Monday. Please keep his family in your prayers. His memorial service is tomorrow and I wish I could be there.
Wishing we were home,
Julie, Chad, and Cam XOXO
