Msg 14 - Short Update
Hi All,
A short update for now. Cameron is steadily progressing into recovery. He is less confined to the bed now and is spending more time in a chair, also showing improvement in body movement and motor skills. Today he will begin a regiment of more normal food intake. Moving from ice chips and popsicles into solids that are easier to digest, such as mashed potatoes. While he is conversing and becoming more aware of his surroundings, he is still weak and healing from the heart surgery as well as the brain surgery. We hope to gain a better idea in timing for the upcoming kidney transplant as well as more detailed analysis of the stroke's impact after meeting with the Neurologist and the Kidney Dr. on Tuesday.
Lee our oldest brother was here for the open heart surgery and returned home on Wednesday. Austin, Amy and family will be returning to Okinawa this coming Thursday. Mom and Guy will be the best points of contact after Austin leaves. Through the red cross we were able to make arrangements to have Guy retrieved from the ongoing war in Iraq. Guy was here for the surgery and now is in Twentynine Palms(outside Vegas) with his wife Eva and newly born son (Kyd Timothy Bonner)(Yes, his name is Kyd). Guy will return on Thursday and remain for another week. Mom (Mary) has been here for some time and will be returning home later this week. E.J. (youngest brother) is expected to arrive soon and Cameron's nephew Dustin (Lee's son) will also be taking a reprieve from his duty in Iraq for a short visit.
As Cameron recovers more he will be able to send a greeting and take a greater lead in the overall communication. For all of you that have sent your prayers and support I know I can speak for Cameron and say, thank-you. Austin has read the cards and notes to Cameron, so know that they are uplifting and a strong source of support.

Dear Bonner Family,
Thank you so much for your updates on Cameron. Everyone here in New Jersey is praying for him. He has touched our lives in a very special way. God still has alot of work for Cameron to do. We hope to see you all soon.
Love, The Zajac's

Bonner Family,
Again, thank you so much for the communication - it is certainly much more than we ever get from Cameron.
Cam-Diggity :) you know it's true! We love you and are thrilled to hear you are steadily improving. Not only do we continue to pray for your healing, but also for you to have new skin - you must look like a railroad track by now.
Hugs and blessings,
Ron and Julee
Cameron,
You are never far from our thoughts and prayers. Happy to hear you are steadily healing!
We love you!
Lee & Robyn
I love You, O Lord
My Strength
The LORD is my rock,
my fortress
and my deliverer;
my God is my rock
in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and
the horns of
my salvation,
my stonghold.
I call to the LORD,
ho is worty of praise,
and I am saved from
my enimies.
Psalm 18:1-3
Love You Cameron, Keep on fighting the fight!!! We all got your back!! :)
Love,
Amanda

Cameron,
Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you lots. We are so glad to hear that you are on the mend.
We don't understand why God has allowed you to go through so much - maybe you have a better grasp on that, or not - but be encouraged to look for the 'pearl' that can come from this 'grain of sand' in your life. (Okay..., I know..., you're thinking, 'but I'm not an oyster!' ;])
Anyhow, we love you so much! We'll give you a call in a couple of days.
All our love,
Marty, Lynnette and the Kidzzzz
Cameron, we can't wait to see you soon and the girls are praying for everyday you get stronger and soon Uncle Cameron will be taking them to Disneyland. Love you, Susan
Curt-thank you for mentioning everyone that has been able to be there with Cameron through this!
Special prayers and thoughts for family traveling to be with Cam and back. Blessings for everything you do.
