5-12-11/5-13-11 Update

Well, it looks like we have some catching up to do.....

Wednesday afternoon the neuro doctors decided to put the EEG back onto Cameron's head (this is the machine that shows Cameron's brain wave patterns. there were about fifty little wires connected to his head)  They decided to do this as precaution because Cameron's eyes were acting a little weird a couple of times (as mentioned in the last update).  Turns out everything was fine and the EEG came off on Thursday morning.
Thursday Cameron had an MRI done. They had clamped the drain line and wanted to make sure that the fluid was being absorbed properly into his body.  It was, so they were able to pull out his drain line.
Cameron's head is now clear of all drain lines and EEG cords....
Cameron also had an Echo done on his heart, we found out that his heart is now up to 50%. slowly making his way up to 70%....

Friday....Wow!!! what an amazing day!!!
Cameron was asked by Neuro Surgeons to hold up his thumb and then to hold up two fingers.  He was able to accomplish both!!!
Later in the day Cameron's nurse, Sheryl noticed that he really seemed to be paying attention to what is going on around him.  So the Nurse told him that he was in the hospital and that he was very sick and that they were taking care of him.  She told him that they would make sure that everything would be explained to him as to what things were being done to him and what it was for.
this is when we developed a system for him to say yes and no.
Cameron now winks his left eye for yes or nods his head slightly up and down.
two eye close for no or he will shake his head a little.
She had asked him a series of questions to answer, like can you feel me touching your foot, then are you in pain?  He had answered yes to these questions.  She then asked if he was five years old his eyes got real big then he shook is head no, then she asked are you eleven and he said yes.

Needless to say past nurses have come in and have asked to see his accomplishments and are all very happy to see how muh he has iumproved.
