Cam's first night

Morning. I just called the PICU nurse and she said that Cameron had a good night. She was waking periodically and moving her right side. At these points they shoot Cameron a little pain medication and send her back to sleep. She is also itching when she wakes which is caused by the meds so they are also giving her meds for that. She was very swollen yesterday and now they nurse is telling me her eyes are completely swollen shut. I will not lie when I say that it is hard to see her like this and it is very hard to be away from her right now. So with that said we are heading over there now to be with her so that she can feel our presence and support. As I went to bed last night I envisioned angles over her bed keeping a close watch on her.......that was the only way I could close my eyes.

Peace be with you my friends. Thanks so much for lifting us up. Shelly

Motts,
I don't know if you have thought about it, but Cameron is already doing God's work. She has brought an uncountable number of people closer to God by them praying for her. Had she, and you all, not been so faithful and loveable, this would not have been the case.
While it has been hard on Cameron and all of you, HOW COOL is it that God is working through Cameron! Knowing that you are bringing people closer to God and possibly saving souls is something ALL of the Motts can be proud of.

So glad to hear the good reports! Cameron is such a strong little girl and the two of you as parents as well. All of you are showing us God's grace and strength. We are all praying for you.

Cameron really IS surrounded by angels - God assigns certain angels to Children and hers are with her. My prayers are with all of you - for strength, endurance, and healing for Cameron.
Love,

Stephanie has been keeping me posted with Cameron's progress. I'm so happy that the surgery went well yesterday. I'll continue to keep your whole family in my thoughts and prayers. May her angels continue to surround her with their wings of protection.

May God's blessings continue. Wesley asked me today if Cameron was finished fixing her head and could come to the lake tomorrow. The hope and inspiration from children! We pray for you all nightly. Mark especially especially concentrates on Caroline. We can't forget anyone.
Hang in there Motts...the best is yet to come. Much love, always, Laura, Scott, Erin, Wesley, and Mark

Hi Guys,
Just dropping in to see if there is any new news. You have been such an inspiration to us. When you spoke of the statue, I remembered that Pete had just been there and emailed the picture to me. Jay has said that doctors pass that way just to lay their hands on the statue before surgeries. We anticipate your updates! Happy Father's Day Casey!
Pete & Katie
