It's been a wonderful Father's Day Weekend - Cameron pulled out his feeding tube twice on Saturday in a symbol of "I'm done with this tube feeding" apparently. They have not had to put it back in as he has taken all feedings by mouth. This really is amazing considering he just had brain surgery on Thursday afternoon.
What a good sign this is!
He has not had any major complications thus far since the surgery- a few heart rate increases over 200 and a few drops in Oxygen but nothing that they tell us to be overly concerned with. And with him taking all feedings by mouth we feel very optimistic at this point.
He goes for another scan tomorrow and I'll be anxious to talk in detail with the Dr who performed his surgery to get his thoughts on Cameron's progress.
Today was a the race to support Children's Memorial we all had a great time. Our friends Courtney, Adam and their adorable son Hudson came all the way from Michigan to join in on the fun. Adam and Matt ran the race side by side, we're not sure who crossed the line first :). We really want to thank them so much for making the trip it meant so much for Matt to have a running partner! Courtney, Rory, Hudson, Nana and Granny Randi all made for a great cheering section.
Here are some photos of Cameron before surgery, on his way to surgery and after surgery -- and some race day photos.
Thank you again to everyone who so generously donated to sponsor Matt in the race we will never forget it!
Let's hope this week brings even more good news for our little fighter Cameron Briggs!! How can we not be strong when he sets such a good example. xoxo Mom and Dad
