The past couple of days have been very busy for Cameron. The biggest news is that Cameron sat up today for about 2 hours. This was a pretty amazing thing to watch and we were all thrilled. She also tried to walk a little but she became very uncomfortable. Cameron is very altert and she knows what she wants and is very aware if mommy or daddy are not in the room.
Beth my neighbor and Julie my college buddy both came to visit today as well. When I told Cameron that Beth was coming, she later asked me "where is she" and I said who and she said "Beth", she asked are nurse "are you my nurse" and when the nurse asked Cameron where she was Cameron said "where". This was funny b/c Cameron knows we are at the doctor but the question just seemed strange to her for some reason. Dr. Jallo, Dr. Carson, Dr. Vining and Dr. Hartman all came to see Cameron yesterday so we feel well taken care of. We have been taking lots of pics and Casey should be able to post some new photos of Cameron and they will amaze you.
Cameron amazes me each day with her strength and courage and she is a hard worker so I know she will be fine. We know that we will be moving to rehab on Tuesday when a bed becomes available for her. We are ready to get her moving and working hard.
Yesterday we also met a family that is here for the same reason but a there daughter Tessa has a different disorder. I plan to be with them some tomorrow and hopefully we can help them in some way. Our SS class gave us a "BIG" basket full of goodies, which have come in very handy by the way, and one of the items was a journal. This is the 1st time I have journaled but it has been very helpful to me and it may be helpful to this family as well. So please pray for Tessa Jagger who will be having her hemi tomorrow.
Mom, Stacy, Caroline and Shelby have all joined us today and we are all at the CH together having a wonderful meal that was donated by a local real estate group. This makes life very easy as we only have to come across the street to eat and relax a little. Mom is with Cameron so it is nice to be with Casey and Caroline in a comfortable setting to help us re-energize. Caroline loves this place and is really happy which is also very important to us.

Thanks for the pictures and updates. Cameron looks great! I will continue to keep Cameron and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Cameron looks so good. It's so awesome to see her eyes open. When Jan & I left Sunday morning they were still closed. Also, the swelling in her face has gone down. Her recovery so far is a God-only miracle. Praise the name of Jesus for all He's done for her and for all the prayers He continues to answer. We'll keep praying. We love you all so much.

We were so glad to get to finally talk to Pat last night and find out about Cameron's Blog! We know there are many of us who have been praying for Cameron and her family, and seeing Cameron's progress is witnessing another of God's miracles. She looks so much better. . . just like her beautiful mother. Thank you for the pictures, it keeps your extended "family" in touch and reassured that Cameron is doing well.
Does this prove that great babysitters grow up to be great mothers? We think it is a strong argument.
Take good care of yourselves so that you can take care of those two beautiful daughters. We love you and pray for you daily.

How great it is to see Cameron's beautiful face with eyes open!! We are so happy for her. We hope that you guys enjoy your time together with Caroline tonight.
Spencer was looking at the pictures with us and said he wanted to say "hello" to Cameron and he also asked "where is her sister?" (so please say hello to Caroline from Spencer as well).
We know that God will continue to show his magnificent grace and healing power as Cameron moves into therapy.
In Christ,
Sherrill Family

Best wishes with rehab. Expect a lot of hard work and some tears, but our children are troopers and always amaze us! As parents of a hemi. child, we are in total "awe" of these children and their determination and recovery. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
We are just in awe of God's amazing power. Cameron, you are incredible! We love to see every picture and read every word of the Blog, as it makes us feel close in our hearts with the miles between us. Knowing that Caroline is adjusting so well to her new "home" must be so comforting and watching your precious girl do so many amazing things after just one week proves that God does work miracles every day.
We love you all,
Joe, Amy, Emma and Will
