Childhood Stroke Awareness

Thank you for all your thoughts at prayers for Cameron! The result of the MRI is that the good news is that he did not suffer another stroke. Thank GOD for that. They saw the same from his 2 year old MRI. What has changed is the activity of the brain and the in depth parts of where the seizures are. We are looking at behavior/mood changes, academic changes, speech/language changes and vision changes. We are going to monitor his medication and of course increase it. Then we will see if he c...

Wow what a neat thing to see and witness!  Aunt Sara puts it best for today if she doesn't mind me copying it!

"We are so blessed in our family to have Cameron. He is amazing, like the amazing love of God who knows how much we need this little boy. I watch the wonderful videos you put together and my heart swells. From the time he was born, and the days he spoke those precious sentences: ?These are Mommy?s shoes,...

I can't tell you how sad I am for him and how many seizures he has a day.  I recently had a seizure and a few spells after that one.  They are not a laughing matter.  I have a headache, fuzzy feelings, twitches, hand twitch, don't know what is happening, dizzy and I SLEEP after it for a long time. Naps.  Wh...

It has been a few months in 1st grade.  He is doing very well adjusting to longer days, more work and new friends.  He gets very tired after 1:00 and requires rest time.  His school has been very helpful with him.  He loves all the ...

Yea! 1st GRADE for Cameron!  He is worried and excited all at the same time.  His teacher seems wonderful and her teacher helper is so sweet. He has seven friends in his class.  6 boys 1 girl.  Chapel was fun and he loves to hear the guiter and pray.  He found his name on his desk/cubby and was making friends as I left his school.   I was just as worried and excited as he was.  I will post when we gets...

We found out what was causing the hand to seem like it was not being used as much.  Cameron has been feeling light headed, pale, headaches and sleepy for the last couple of months.  His skin looked almost yellowish after each episode.  It is so sad to hear your child say "my brain is burning" and then falling down, with his eyes turning.  After the seizure he sleep...

Cameron is not using that hand these days. It was getting better. He would use it for dressing, helping.  It was a helper hand and could be so much more.  Lately it is fisted tight and under.  When we try to have him use it his wrist will not lay down flat.  Textures are really bothering him, cold, paints, warm.  My sweet boy would really love to have it under the table to eat and not hold the bowl. Getting dressed is one...

Cameron will be finishing his Transitional Kindergarten class in a few weeks. It is a class to get ready for Kindergarten.  He would then go to Kindergarten this fall. We found a school for children with disabilities.  It seems so wonderful for him. But they do not start at K. 1st grade is the starting class for 2008/2009. Cameron is 6 so his age does qualify him for 1st. After interviews, tours, placemen...
