Cameron's Saturday

Cameron is doing well and had a pretty good day. Basically, she was in the same state and the plan for today was to keep her bed flat but to move her head to midline today, meaning she would be lying flat on her back. They also planned to remove her breathing tube. All of this was to take place at 5:00 but they are just in the process as we speak. It is 10:00 now and they should be complete by 12:00. Cameron is doing enough of her breathing on her own to make the doc's believe she will do well throughout the process. They really take things slowly which is comforting. Casey is sleeping at the hospital tonight and says things are going well but that she is irritated. Cameron is still running a mild fever and they are not worried. She basically is doing very well and the doctors are pleased with her progress but she will stay in PICU until Monday before moving us to a regular room.

Jay, our youth minister and Casey's 1st cousin Susan came to visit today which truly breaks up the day and helps time pass quickly. Mom, Stacy, Joe and Jan are all still here as well and we are grateful for their support. Stephanie and Emma just made the long drive home and they are safe and sound as well.

We have really enjoyed reading your words of support and sharing them with our family ............thanks.

I'll send another update tomorrow. Our love, Shelly.
