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....
