Sunday morning

Morning. Cameron has had a wonderful weekend and is close to a normal routine without multiple naps during the day. She continues to get stronger and her left arm is making progress as well. She can slide her arm across a table or tray and as she likes to say "she is making a rainbow".

We had her STEER meeting on Friday which is similar to an IEP. All of her therapist, social worker, and docs get together to discuss her progress. Our checkout date will be on July 13th at 11:00 and we will head directly home so that Cameron can get her nursing care to ensure we don't lose her CAP services. I think they would like for us to stay one week longer but I feel like these services are very important and I also feel very comfortable with Cam's at home therapist at the Millis Center. The Neuro and Speech folks really think that Cameron could survive with assistance in a regular Kindergarten class which is wonderful to her. Her response times and overall abilities are much better then when they did the evaluation in February. Cameron will still be in the Life skills class with her wonderful teachers that know and care about her but I am hoping she can start out spending half days with the reg. class.

She is having lost of fun playing in the playroom and is able to be involved for longer periods of time. She is now wearing a foot and arm brace and they are using some special tape to help her with her shoulder. Not quite sure how it works but I'll keep you posted. Casey is here so I will get some pictures up of Cameron soon and send more updates now that I have a computer. She looks like sweet little Cameron only with a crooked smile. The weakness on the left side of her face will come back as well but seems to show up more in pictures. All of the nurses and caregivers have fallen in love with Cam's as she is so easy going. She doesn't pretend to sleep as much when she doesn't want to talk however that is usually a cue that she is getting worn out.

Also, someone in NY sent us a package from Mrs. Fields but we can't tell whom it is from. Please let us know. Many thanks to everyone yet again for the continued prayers. Your cards and well wishes are wonderful and I can now imagine a day when I can share these with Cameron and she can read them all by herself and understand the magnitude of there meaning. Love you all. Shelly
