Day 6: God Bless Camden!!

9/30/2013

Day 6 has been by far the hardest for Camden. His pain is being managed by continuous morphine. A side effect from the megadose of chemotherapy has left him with mucositis (inflammation of mucus membranes in mouth, throat, and stomach) and also causes sores in these areas. Camden's does not have visible sores, but he cannot open his mouth and is in a lot of pain. We are fully relying on tube feeds for nutrition. Last night he vomited out his NG tube and it had to be removed and replaced. His ANC is 50, still declining to 0...praying his suffering will not last long, as it is painful to watch your child like this, but our strength, courage, religion, and faith prevails and will guide us through and Camden will quickly recover! Please continue to pray for his complete healing! Much love~

I am sending all my love, thoughts and prayers as always and asking GOD to have this awful part of his treatment to go extremely fast so you can all go home together soon. You amaze me with the strength you have through all of this Jess and I am so glad that your faith is stronger than ever through the hardest time that any mother could ever go through. LOL

Mommy & Me

Mommy

She's going to keep everyone up to date about my progress. Isn't she the best mommy ever?

Mommy thought long and hard about my new website. She thought about protecting me and not putting my hospital pictures online. But my mommy wants everyone to know that Neuroblastoma isn't just another illness, that it's scary and very serious. My mommy wants to make sure that other kids don't go through this and that their parents know what to look for. My cancer is very mean, and I'm scared, but I have my mommy - and daddy - to rub my belly and hold me tight. I love them so much!
