Carson has a little brother

Carson has a new little brother. We are all excited about Cameron and how he is fitting into our family. Carson is a proud big brother and loves to help take care of Cameron. Carson starts school in two weeks with his good friend William. I think I will have a harder time than he will with leaving him! He is doing so well adjusting to Cam being home. I know it will be an adjustment once more when he starts school, but we are all ready!

Cameron is doing very well and at this point is only needing physical therapy. The neurologist saw him and said that his left ankle was tight. We are working on it at home and we go to Cook's once a week to meet with the OT. He loves to watch his big brother and smile. He is talking so much now and brings joy to all of us each day.

We added one to our family!!

As you can see we added a new baby to our family and it is not a girl!! We are all very excited about having Cameron in our home. We didn't get to bring him home until two weeks after birth due to the fact that he was in the NICU at Cook's. I am hoping to put updates on the blog and share pieces of our lives together now with 4! I know I didn't keep up with the blog, but I will try my best. I will update soon with pics and how Cam is doing. Carson is starting MDO, by himself, ( I taught his class last year) in two weeks and he is very excited. I think it will be harder for me than for him!! I put a brief story of his birth on the about me section if you want to read it.

We are now a family of four!! We were blessed with a beautiful baby boy on Saturday June 12, 2010. His name is John Cameron. He was born at 11:51pm at Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest. He had a smooth and successful natural bith. I had no pain medacine! He was 7 lbs 7 oz and was 20 in long. Shortly after birth he began having seizures and was quickly sent to Cook Children's hospital in Ft Worth. He had an MRI and a 24 hour EEG to monitor his seizure activity. We learned later the next day that he had suffored a massive bilateral ischemic brain stroke shortly before birth. They went on to tell us that he had severe brain damage. They are estimating that 56% of his brain had died as a result of the lack of oxygen, and he is expected to have multiple disabilities. We know that God created within his head a perfectly formed brain and we believe that God has a special plan for his life. We believe in miracles and are praying for total healing. Please join us in prayer with our Heavenly Father to heal Cameron's brain and to give him the potential that the Lord designed for him. Thank you for being a part of our lives and now a part of Camerons.

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
