We were moved from the 3rd floor down to the 2nd floor - which is also known as I.C.U.. the doctors feel like this is best for Camo.. since his vitals have not shown any improvement and his blood pressure has risen. Camdyn is now on a 24hour dialysis and he has been given 2 blood transfusions today. This is in hopes to increase his red blood count - to improve his oxygen level (it dropped to 43!!! should be between 95-100). He hated the oxygen tube placed in his nose, but we explained to him he needs to keep it in, so he can feel better soon. He is so darn sweet. He trusts us and simply says"okay". It breaks our heart now, every single time a nurse comes in - Camdyn asks her "you going to hurt me?". Most of the time they are only coming in to check vitals..which does not poke or stick anything in/on him.. so most of the time they can simply explain what they are going to be doing - and that they promise this won't hurt. Each nurse has been wonderful. Very attentive and kind.
He ate for the first time today, since (6/20). He had some mac-n-cheese and jello. yea!! still no "tinkle" yet though :(
Camdyn had another extremely emotional incident this evening... lasting almost 2.5 hours. His nose was bothering him so badly that he almost rubbed it raw.. he could not stop scratching all over his head and tummy.. and his eyes became so swollen he could barely see us. He was more irritable than we had had ever seen before. We asked the nurses to explain to us all the medicines they had recently given to him.. and one of the medicines was a pain medicine semi-related to the codeine family. Needless to say, we panicked!! the nurses quickly gave him benadryl and a sedative.. it took a little while for this to kick in but once it finally did, Camdyn was so exhausted and overwhelmed - that he passed out.

Thank you again for your prayers. We greatly appreciate it.
