Little Cam Bear is in the mood too. We've decorated his crib with our Avon Mouse advent calendar. You'd be surprised how many nurses have that calendar considering it's probably 20+ years old. Grandma Karla sent him the cutest little stocking that says, "Cameron's First Christmas" which we hung up on his unused IV pole. We also have a couple cute Christmas outfits that Aunt Lisa sent. And the most exciting news is that Santa visits the NICU tomorrow! We'll have some pictures of that up hopefully soon.
This week was another good week with more steps in the right direction. They moved Cameron to a different pod with a 'window' seat. It's a lot more quiet and he seems to really enjoy it. He spends a lot of time either in his bouncy chair or gazing at his mobile. Daddy and I take turns holding him and Uncle Marc also visited this week (on a brief business trip stopover) and held him as well. Cameron continues to do well with his feedings and he is even up to 6lbs, 7 ounces as of tonight. Can you believe it? They also did a kidney function test this week (I can't remember the name, VCOG or something like that). He is still having some minor issues that they may have to correct with surgery down the road, but for now, just antibiotics seem to be working fine. The urologist should be by this week to go over the results with his regular docs and decide how they want to proceed.
Enjoy the pics! Tis the season.... :)
Hi Uncle Marc! Nice to meet you.
Big stretch or 'Up up and Away'? Cousin Colleen picked out this cute outfit for Cameron. It is so soft!
One of the volunteers knitted these hats for all the babies in the NICU. Isn't it cute?
Look at how little his bottom is!
Believe it or not, he LOVED sitting like this.
He loves his bouncy chair. I think he's a little suspicious of the giraffe though.

Carlin loves that over the shoulder position too! I'll ask my parents about heading out there :oP We don't do outside lights so you got us there!
ReplyDeleteHe is getting so big!
ReplyDeleteHi Janie & Mike - Cameron too!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are so thrilled to read that sweet Cameron is progressing well now. You have all been in our thoughts and prayers, and will continue to be so.
Perhaps he will be home with you by the New Year - how wonderful that will be.
Uncle Bob and I send so much love and good wishes for your Christmas celebrations, altho' much of it may be around the hospital. Sounds pretty cheerful there though!
May the coming year be one full of blessings for this tiny guy and you, his fabulous parents.
Our love - Mary & Bob.
Jasmin asked that I send a big but gentle hug to Cameron X
