Our Boy is Gaining Weight!

It's been a busy week so far...lots of therapies, we really like our new PT (but miss Stephanie of course:)

We saw Dr Vicari regarding the head shape and torticollis, he is pleased with the progress Cameron is making with therapy so we will wait another 4-6 months to see him again.

The Pediatrician today was happy with Cameron's weight gain, he is up to 20lbs which is great. A whole two pounds since June! He is now officially on the growth chart for his age group - 5% to be exact!yahoo.

Cameron is doing well getting into four point when crawling, it's not all the time but he's making some major progress. He also seems to getting the hang of "Hi Five" and he loves to eat. Oh and he loves to comb his own hair, it's so cute!!!
He smiles everywhere we go it's amazing to me. Even after two shots today he cried for less than 5 minutes and was back to his happy ways.
Cameron is infatuated with Miller's dog crate, he even has climbed in there twice. Somehow we also seem to miss the photo op.

This weekend is the Children's Memorial and Mix 36 Hour Radiothon. Last year Cameron was having his shunt surgery during this so we spent a lot of time hearing all of the amazing and heartbreaking stories. Cameron is going to be featured on the website I believe, they put together this wonderful montage of him and told a bit of his story - they wanted us to come down to do an interview but Mom and Dad are going to be in Ireland!! Yes that's right we are leaving out little angel and heading overseas. Matt earned this trip for doing so well at work lately. We couldn't pass up a free trip to Dublin all expenses paid. Cameron will be spending some QT with Nana and Grandma Randi and many other visitors.

If you have the time this weekend take a moment to visit the website http://www.wtmx.com to see where Cameron is posted, you can also pledge on line or call in direct to1-888-831-7733. We will be checking in often from Dublin and calling in to make a pledge.
I consider us one of the luckier families at Children's as we have had the joy of coming home and despite the many surgeries Cameron comes out even better. There are many children at the hospital far more regularly than us, and some who have never left. As you are enjoying this weekend with your family and friends take a moment to think about those children. We appreciate your continued support for our family, the hydrocephalus association and Children's Memorial who has played an integral role in Cameron's care from day one.
