The latest in Cameron's journey with Hemi

Cameron had his first ultrasound today! The ultrasound tech seemed very pleased to be dealing with such a sweet little subject. She put the goo on his tummy and took the pictures of his kidneys. Now, I wait for the results of this test! The online support group has informed me of the importance of a blood test called AFB that needs to be done every 6-8 weeks. Yet, one more test I need to tell my Doctor to get for Cameron. This is TOTALLY something I must tell the Doctor about. The one Dr. that diagnosed him never mentioned this blood test. I guess it's to make sure of a certain tumor/cancer that is rare but hemi kids are more at risk.


Cameron wiggled, rolled and even came up with a very interesting grunt while all the probing was happening. He better get used to it, since he will be doing it for every 6 months until age 3 and at that point it decreases.


Collin really loves the movie toy story and went on and on about getting a woody. Here he is!

Cooie is pluggin along. He has been enjoying playing with play dough. His new favorite thing to do is to take a trip to the pet store and look at all the fish.

I cannot stop laughing.....thought you may enjoy this!





Grammy stopped by while I was taking some pictures of the boys. She saw an opportunity to get a picture with the grandchildren..........so she thought! Thank's to her visit, I am in stitches! HEEHEHEHEHHHHEEEEEEE


Oh, and yes that's another mark on Cooie. A black eye, can you even believe it? Playing at the playground last Sunday and he fell on a stair. I am buying him a helmet.

Let's lighten the mood, shall we!





My sweet little baby Cameron

The conclusion from Cameron's Doctor visit today was what I dreaded to hear. He has Hemihypertrophy and will have an ultrasound to check his kidneys next. Here is a link with some great information if you wish to find out more about this. This seems to be a "take it day by day" thing. So, for now I am fighting back tears to get thru it. No matter what he is happy, loving and growing otherwise normal baby. With any luck or the power of God, this will be isolated to his arm. I was told if his leg grows a certain length too long he will need corrective surgery.

Collin gives me a nice smile.

Well, Collin is doing great! He is enjoying preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays and always talks about one particular girl in his class. He is always bossing Cooie around causing lots of loud ear shattering screams. Collin is still like he was as a baby, just loves to laugh. I am so happy he is over his sickness. We are still "waiting" for an appointment for an allergist who seems months booked out.
