Cam's new right hip! |
When Cam was in the hospital and Emma came to visit, it upset her to see her buddy not himself and in pain. Jane explained to Cam later that the best friends of all in your life are the ones who care for you so very much, they feel your pain and may wish they could even take it away or feel it instead of you.
Ms. Barbara & Cam & caramel corn |
We all enjoyed a visit from Aunt Joyce and Aunt Gay and they brought with them Cam's favorite new game, Uno Attack.
Grand Valley professor, Dr. Lisa and graduate students, Kelcey and Katrina popped in on Wednesday and chatted with the recovering boy.

An 8+hour power outage made things interesting on Thursday.
Uncle Joe popped in to check on his great-nephew and Ms. Barbara from school surprised Cam on Saturday with some homemade caramel corn (which thankfully he shared with him mom!).
Cam chose the color mixing chart first and it directed which colors to mix like a scientific experiment, his favorite!
There are not enough thanks to go around for all of the extra attention, meals and gifts brought into our home.
One of the cards that really took our breath away was from the Wyoming Police Department, where Cam toured for his birthday last summer. It was signed by so...many...officers, detectives and department members. To think that all of these individuals who met Cam only once took their time to write a personal message...no wonder our son is so set on working for the police!
Camology Quotes:
As we all adjust to Cam's temporary situation, he has to rely much more on his parents.
Each and every time they prepare to lift him, they hear...
"Mom and Dad, please be careful and don't break my legs."
A changeable marquee from Jane's boss! |
With the wedge foam to keep his hips in place and using a manual wheelchair, we all decided it would be easier for Cam to remain undressed from the waist down to ease the discomfort. Of course, he always had a sheet or blanket over his legs. At one point during the week, he announced...
"You know I have to wear pants to school next week. My principal would not let me go to school with no pants on!"
