Msg 17 - Quick update...

So Cameron was finally moved out of the CCU, the most critical unit of the hospital, last week to the fourth floor of memorial hospital. He recieved a new feeding tube in addition to the line for his stomach.

It's the tube that Guy referred to in his last post.

Chantal, a friend of Cameron's who has been visiting him everyday, said even though Cam was put in a regular patient room, his doctors did have to put back into the CCU later in this week to drain blood from the heart surgery.

Chantal said his left side is improving dramatically.

This is the side he had the stroke on before he went into his first surgery, so this is obviously good news. It's not like he's up for a game of Playstation or anything, but Chantal said he can now squeeze his left hand and hold a cup with it which is really great. She also said this week was the best she has seen him since he was put in the hospital, he was awake and talking more.

He keeps getting stronger, which is what it will take for him to finally leave the hospital.

Mom said that Guy is back with Cameron in Ventura so he'll probably post more detailed information later, I just wanted to give you guys a quick update.
