Snowed In!!


It has been a crazy weekend! Andy, Maddie and I headed north on Thursday around noon, thinking we would beat the snow. Instead we became part of the biggest parking lot on history! It took us over 6 hours to go 13 miles to Route 1 in Saugus, Mass. We did not pull into our driveway in Veazie until 1 am!! Madness!! We returned to Boston Monday evening, after digging out from yet another snowstorm on Sunday. Thank goodness Maddie and I love the snow! Maddie even spent Saturday night with my aunt Alice and uncle Steve! They played in the snow and baked Christmas cookies! I even got some shopping and wrapping done during the storm.
Over the weekend,m Camden chilled out with all the nurses on 10 east. His tube feeds went from 4 to 6 to 8 ml/hr and his TPN went down from 16 to 15 to 14 ml/hr. His weight today was 3.9 kg (I always have trouble converting it to pounds and ounces!). He looks a little less yellow today, that may be due to his direct bilirubin on Sunday fell to 5 from 8 or 10!! Great progress. We don't mind the slow progress....it wins the race!! PT was working with him today too, no problems there, either. Good flexibility, and on target developmentally.
Just wanted to close today's report with a quick note to Sue.... get well and on your feet soon!! We love you Nana!!

Julia was very jealous of Maddie when she saw this photo!! She wants to come back to New England for the snow. :-) Thanks for keeping us updated.

It is so lovely to see so much progress for Camden! There is so much optimism expressed and so many positive aspects that have come in such a truly difficult time. We are thinking of you guys over the holidays and wish you the very best. Keep your spirits high. We love you all so very much! Alicia, Jeremy, and Spencer
P.S. In case you were wondering, I'm sure Camden is on Santa's "good" list cause he fills his diaper with poop!Yee Ha!

We are so happy that Camden is doing so great. You need to tell him to get better soon cause he will have a little playmate in August. Ryan and I hope that him and our little one will grow up together and be best buds. We are holding all of you in our hearts and prayers every day. Love and miss you guys. Can't wait to see you soon. ~Christina, Ryan & Helen
