Treatment done: now we just have to rebound from a hand full of side effects!  Today, other than a few bumps, went smoother than yesterday.  I couldn't be more proud of Camden.  He truly is our hero!

Thank you Lord and Blessed Mother for watching over us today....thank you for staying with Cam.  We offer his suffering to you Jesus and we continue to ask for our miracle!

Happy 2014....we hope everyone has a safe and happy night, in addition to a great new year.

Day 2: started off rocky...Camden was out of control itchy from head to toe...crawling out of his skin from the pain medication.  He is now much more comfortable from the itching perspective.  We had to start oxygen support much much earlier today.  This is the ABSOLUTE WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD...that no one could ever EVER EVER ever prepare you for!  He is being so brave....so is mom, dad, and nurse...we have an awesome support system here and with ALL of you!!  Keep praying!! xoxo

Medication complete, now the aftermath....

Overall, he did well.  Pain medications will continue.  He is fluid overloaded...and we start over in the morning.  Please pray tonight and tomorrow go smoothly!! 

I don't know what to say.....other than 1 1/4 hrs left!

Pain is intensifying..we are increasing narcotics...he is so brave....6 more hours

Camden's medication has started.  Praying all goes well.  We have a 1:1 nurse today, which we are extremely thankful for!!  This medication is a 10 hour infusion but can take up to 20 hrs if needed.  After 20 hrs the medication will be discarded.  He is sleeping from benedryl.  Vitals signs are stable so far.  9 1/2 more hours to go.  Please Jesus stay with Camden and protect him from any potential reactions.  Please medication attack and destroy any remaining cancer cells!!

CONGRATS Camden....you are 3 months, 4 days old in the world of a bone marrow transplant patient.....AND we made it to Day 95 out of 100 in complete isolation...now lets make it out of cold & flu season....(ugh)....WE LOVE YOU BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinic went well this morning and Camden kicked butt with letting me give him his shot today.  (Day 1 of 14 days is in the books).  We plan on having a great day and our prayers continue for an easy time next week....

So as the excitement of a very merry Christmas is scattered throughout my house...it is hard to not think about the next step in our journey.  Camden has been such a trooper taking his pain medication 3 times a day in preparation for antibody.  This treatment is the most challenging of all~from what I have been told repetitively.  It is NOT a walk in the park and prior to starting pain medications early, you could hear the children screaming in pain from opposite ends of the hallways.  It will be hard to see him endure these next treatments, but knowing that this is going to save his life....puts a different twist on the situation.  I ask for us to join in prayer that the Good Lord and his beautiful Mother, surround Camden through each moment of our upcoming battle.  That "They" protect him, watch over him so carefully, that they see to it that the medications obliterate all of Camden's remaining cancer but spares his lungs and other organs, making sure Camden's body is strong enough to fight through without complications~which typically will lead the children to the ICU for supportive care.  Please give his nurses and doctors the insight that we know they already have~to notice unwanted events in time for rapid responses.  I ask for Ron and I to have unfailing strength that we can be at his side every second, with the faces of believe, strength, smiles, and courage.  We trust in you Lord, we believe that you will see us through this.  Please crusaders, I know you are there for us...but I ask, please wrap Camden in an armor of faith, love, and healing...in Jesus' name....

Merry Christmas Crusaders!  Camden was up until 2:30 am waiting for Santa!  Never again will I wait until Christmas Eve to wrap presents and get organized!  The kids are having a wonderful morning....I cannot help but think of the true meaning of Christmas and we wish Jesus a Happy Birthday!  We have so much to be thankful for and I ask that He continue to heal Camden and protect Camden during this next treatment phase.

We wish all of you a magical day with your loved ones and families!!!
