He who dwells in the shadow of the Most High will abide in the shelter of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I shall trust." Psalm 91

Check me out! My face is tube free! :)
Pretty swollen, but looking great! He had a really good day considering it was one day after surgery. He seemed to be very comfortable last night. I just don't want him in pain! The surgeon used a turtle for his bandage this time. :)
Camden James joined our family on January 22, 2009, weighing approx 8-9 pounds and measuring around 22 inches with an UNKNOWN congenital diaphragmatic hernia. He joins his father, Marcus and I and three brothers and a sister.He has a trach and has been off ventilator since winter of 09. He gets all nutrition from a gtube.Life is not what it was, but we are adjusting to our new normal and trusting God as He continues to guide.... *Camden had his first "reherniation" diaphragm repair on Oct 30 2009, patched with gortex.* Some colon had made its way in chest cavity, behind his heart.*He was hospitalized due to his first sickness resulting from a cold(we think) for the first time on Jan 6 2010, at almost one year old.*REASONS FOR BLOGGING? Obviously to keep close friends and family updated but more importantly to help others with special needs children. Other blogs encourage me, give tips, and help me realize that I am not alone on this journey.I hope to do the same for them.*Camden was decannulated on June 2, 2010!!!*UPDATE for 2011 He finally took interest in eating, but it isnt possible due to his nissen surgery being too tight. New hurdle to overcome..
Oh Devon, tears are just running down my face. He is so beautiful.Your entire family is such a blessing. God has some great plans for you all.
