Today is the surgery day for Cameron. He actually had a good sleep last night. He went down at about 11 and then didn't wake up until about 3:30am. We came to the hospital at 8:30am and they took him from us at about 10:30am for the surgery. He will have an epidural and two IV's. The surgery will take about 2 hours but when that clock starts we don't know. There is a monitor, big 52 LCD, in the waiting room that shows if your child is in surgery or recovery all done by a code you are given. We will keep you up to date. 12:35 p.m. Just got an update from the nurse. She stated he is doing o.k. and no problems so far. 1:40 p.m. He is out of surgery now. The doctor did not have to remove the whole lower lobe. We are going into the NICU to see him. 6:00pm-We are waiting for Cameron to wake up so we can feed him. He has an IV so he is not starving, but he may want something in his stomach too.He is on a couple of pain meds and he is sleeping comfortably. |

Cameron's last feeding was at 6:30 this morning. His first appointment today was at 8:30am for a CT scan. Cameron had to have an IV for the CT scan. The first nurse was unable to get the IV started so we had to wait until another nurse could do it. It was about 11:00am by the time we finally got Cameron to the CT scan. Luckily, he was so tired from crying he didn't need any sedation for the scan. He did so great! We finished up at noon. Later today we saw Dr. Adzick. He told us that the the lesion was a hybrid of CCAM & bronchopulmonary sequestration. It is located inside the normal lung tissue. Because of this he is going to have to have the lower right lung lobe remove. The good news is that because he is so young he will never miss it. The other 2 lobes on the right side will fill in for the missing area. The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning. Tomorrow we will be taking a tour of the NICU. We had to take him for some blood work this afternoon after seeing the doctor. They had a hard time getting his veins because he is a little chunky. So they had to stick him 3 more times. So he has bandaids on both feet, 2 on his left arm and one on his right arm. Cameron had a long day today. He only cried when he was really hungry or when he was getting stuck by a needle. He is such a great baby! |

 Our trip to Philly is coming up faster than I had expected. We are leaving this Sunday. Cameron has a CT scan Scheduled for Monday and his surgery scheduled for Wednesday. I am very nervous about the whole thing. Our wonderful parents are watching Preston for the 2 weeks we will be gone. This is the first time we have left Preston for that long. I think that it is going to be the hardest for Joe and I. I know Preston will have a ball. He loves his grandparents!
Please keep in your thoughts and prayers that things go smoothly in Philly for Cameron. I have already told Joe that I don't think I can be the one who hands Cameron over to the surgeon. It will probably be one of the hardest things we will ever have to do. The thing that puts my mind at ease is that the surgeon is the best in the country and the surgery is necessary for him to have a healthy life. And that is all we really want for our children. My dear friend Jennifer is going to come and support us in Philly. We are lucky to have her there with us too! |
