Report #1 Nuerosurgeon follow up last week - Dr Alden thought Cameron looked good and we couldn't agree more. Normally we have an ultrasound before all appts but for some reason not this one, so we had to do that after our appt which turned into a 3 hour ordeal. But the good news is that Dr Alden says the shunt is not "overdraining" and the ventricles look like they might be even a little bit smaller. So we are not going to change the setting on his shunt right now - which by the way they do with magnets. Amazing. When we asked if we need to be concerned about Cameron being around magnets the Dr suggested we just not let him play with a box of magnets - it's nice when they can break the tension with a good sense of humor. So anyone out there who was thinking a box of magnets would make a great gift - think again :). So although shunt is not the best looking device, it's working and that is what matters most. We continue to cross our fingers for no malfunctions or infections.
Report #2 - Fashion Police: (Cameron's perspective)
So the number of comments my parents received relative to my outfit in the blue chair - specifically the jean shorts - really got us talking. First of all, my parents did not dress me in some acid wash denim cut offs people - take it easy!! These jean shorts they put me in were rather adorable if you ask me. There was a cute little dog and firetruck on them, maybe you all didn't notice it was an outfit that matched my adorable top with the same dog and firetruck. I'll admit there are some questionable outfits mom and dad wear at times, but not me!!
In other news we are still waiting to get our first physical therapy appointment set, and Mom is really hoping it's soon. We head off to the pediatrician again next week and are hoping for a good weight gain report. Overall it's been a good week, as this was our first week ever since birth that we have not had to head off to children's or the pediatrician for a dr appt! What a milestone. Cameron is really chatting alot and he smiles a lot, one thing mom has noticed is that he always get very smiley right before a big spit up - which is a nice warning for mom!
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!
xoxo mom and dad

I happen to agree with you Cameron... I liked the jean shorts... not my style but they fit you!
Great news all around though. We hope we cna make it out for a visit sometime in the next few weeks. I think Cameron needs to get to know his uncle a little better... (Murphy's Bleachers at noon dude and then the game...don't tell mom beer is on me).
Talk to you guys soon and now you have ruined my gift of the box of magnets thank the Dr. for me... sheesh.
He looks so great!! His head looks much less swollen! I am glad things are going so well for him and you all! I like the jean shorts, I am sure Fashionista Elizabeth had her own comments!:)
