Msg 05 - The Pulmonary doctor

The pulmonary doctor was in this morning and said the family might have to decide in a couple days about putting a tracheotomy in because it doesn’t look like Cameron will wake up as soon as they had hoped. Diana (the nurse mentioned below) said it really will make him more comfortable instead of having all of the tubes coming out of his mouth.



They have tripled his antibiotics, and all these bags that are feeding into his body hold either medication to sedate him or help his autoimmune system. Even with everything else going the Lupus is still very much part of the picture and his body is not responding to the antibiotics as much as they would like it to.

He is still responding to them though, trying to move his arms and legs whenever they ask him to. It’s hard to feel good when he hasn't opened his eyes or breathed on his own, but on the other hand he is getting some much needed rest after so many months of being sick and not being able to sleep. They are still giving him dialysis three times a week.

I told him he has a Mohawk.


The surgeons were too busy to shave his entire head. He has 28 staples where they went in to remove the clot, it forms a U-shape, kind of like a horseshoe.

Tremendous job on the blog...

and Cameron. I can't wait 'til you find out and read about the blog: and realize the fact that YOU are the center of attention: for all of America to search and google. It will be rather entertaining. :) Oh, and of course... praying for you and your family. ~Shauna~

Hey Cameron,
I miss seeing your smiling face here in the Continental office. Yes, I'm new to this blogging world but I am so glad that there is a way that I can get an update on your condition (thx Jessie & Curtis!) and that you will eventually see the love that everyone is pouring out on this site. God is our strength and we (especially me) need to rely on His strength during times like this. I hope to see you soon.

Jessie & Curtis, thanks for maintaining the blog! I'll be sure and direct people here, there have been many asking how to stay updated.

Cameron, praying for you non-stop brother. It's hard to understand "why", especially when you've gone through so much. Just trusting God and believing that He is in control. Love you a lot my friend!

Hey Cameron we are thinking about you continuously and praying as well. The girls are very sad that you are in the hospital and asking if there is any new information everyday. "Mom can you tell me anything new?" is what they ask. We all love you very much and can't wait to see you again so get well soon.

Love, Pete, Rene', Shaylee, Tiana and Brice
