Well Cameron had his surgery to have his skull put back in today...and there were concerns from our perspective...we really had just felt that Cameron had been through so much over the coarse of five weeks and four days.  
Doctor Tuite would have liked for Cameron to have waited for about three months for this surgery.  Maybe by then he would have had a little more weight on his bones,  his pancreatitus would have been gone, his red blood cell count to be higher, and for Cameron not to have the pressure wounds on the back of his head as a source of infection, maybe his blood clot to have been gone and off of blood thinners, maybe just maybe Cameron would be off of his heart medicines.....
But the fact that Cameron was doing better then anyone in this situation had ever done. (This means he SURVIVED!!!)  Dr. Tuite and all the other doctors on his case felt that he would get so much more out of rehab if he didn't have to come back for another surgery....They also talked this over with the head rehab doctor over at Tampa General.  Dr Tuite thought that maybe Cameron wouldn't get pushed as hard as needed with his skull missing. This is something we new would have to happen..that this is a good thing and part of what needed to happen to get Cameron better and home with his family.  It just can be hard when they change the path that you thought you were taking

Everything went well with the surgery as well as it could go.  He was complaining alot which is very good...according to the staff here.

We are back in the ICU and we have had all kinds of visitors ....mostly from all Cameron's past nurses and ICU doctors...they all just love him and are enjoying seeing him awake and doing so well.

Cameron had a good dinner tonight and hopefully we will all get a good nights sleep.

Thank you all that kept us in your thoughts and prayers!!!
