Almost 4 months post op

Hello everyone. There have been so many things going on over the past couple of months that have kept us very busy. Cameron started school as you know and is doing very well. She is surrounded by a great team that is still trying to figure out how to deal with her very specific needs. Cameron spends all day in the regular classroom setting except for a small nap each morning. The teachers and therapist are beginning to come together on ways to modify her work as the pace in kindergarten picks up quickly.

Therapy in High Point also continues with about 10 hours per week and Cameron continues to make progress. She recently learned how to get up from the ground with no assistance at all, I was so impressed. Accomplishments like these really build up her self esteem and are so important.

As Casey mentioned in his last post the golf tournament that our friends had for us and that so many of you played in was a huge success. We had around 130 players and the day was truly perfect in so many ways. We had lots of family and close friends there and it was something that we will never forget. Thank you all. Earlier the same week of the golf tournament Casey's dad, Joe Mott passed away. He was ill but his death was still very hard on Casey and his brothers and sisters as they had just lost "Sophie" there mother in February. It truly was a blessing that PaPa was able to see Cameron's success before his passing.

Cameron had her first post op MRI on Monday October the 1st and I got concerned with the radiologist initial reading but we have been reassured by our Dr's at Hopkins. She has her follow up appointments next week on Tuesday and I am so excited for them to see this happy, funny and hardworking little girl that has come so far.

We also have a link to the documentary that was done on Cam's if anyone is interested in seeing it please e-mail me and I will forward it to you. This was hard to watch but truly shows the miracle that God has performed in her life. That is simply what it is.

What a great update! So bummed that I missed seeing you guys on Saturday. Andrew got a great video of Caroline scoring a goal and I hear Cameron was trying to get Brandon to get off his toosh and play with her. :)

I was working with Cameron in Mrs. Ketner's class this week and I just wanted you to know that I was pleasantly surprised and an overwhelming feeling of joy came over me seeing Cameron get up off the floor by herself. Cameron's story is definately an inspirational one and a Miracle! I love all you guys! Daniele Kay
