Where in the world do I even begin?
Camden has done absolutely wonderful with this cast, just like he did the last one. At the beginning as you can all imagine it was the most difficult thing I ever had to hear in my entire life. I mean seriously who wants to watch their baby go through something this major? No one.
Some people don't realize how major Progressive Infantile Scoliosis really is. I have had a few people just roll there eyes and others that want to know things, who ask questions about it and want to know more.
Like I've said in the past Camden is put under general anesthesia for EVERY SINGLE CAST. That is probably the hardest part to this entire process. It's nerve racking also because you never know what you child is going to act like when waking up from that anesthesia. The 2 cast that we've already been through have been heart breaking to me. I can't take it at all.
We can't give Camden a bath, nor can we just take him up the street to the pool and swim with him because his cast CAN'T get wet, and we can't just take it off give him a quick back and throw it back on, the cast doesn't come off until we are getting ready to head to Greenville SC for another one. Some people just don't understand how heart breaking it can really be behind the scenes. Although Camden is happy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I may not always be, there have been times where I can't take it anymore but I have to trust in the Lord to give me the strength I need to overcome this for Camden.
On a positive note, we are going to the beach here in a few weeks, and guess who gets to go swim, put his toes and his bottom in the sand, yep! Camden!
We are taking him to a local orthopedist to remove the cast with a cast cutter and he will be cast free for about 7 days, and then we will head back to Shriner's the day after we get back from the beach to have cast #3 put on. I can only hope and pray that this goes as good as I would like for it to go. I know that's a little ways away but it haunts me. I can only hope for the best with cast #3.
Other than those things, Camden is doing awesome and he is the HAPPIEST & CUTEST baby alive!!!! :)
Happy Mommy!!!!
Camden got his first hair cut a few weeks ago. Poor kid, he's only 9 months and has already had his hair cut.

He also decided he would scoot on over to the wipes and take them all out of the box :)
