4th of July

Good morning so far :) Camo slept almost 8 hours last night. Also, a huge answer to all of our prayers is that he had a few drops of urine in his catheter bag!! yea!! it's not much, but it's a start.. we'll take it! also, around 5:30a.m. he had a poopy diaper! we gave him a sponge bath and he went back to sleep for a couple more hours. He just woke up craving "Cheetos" :) silly boy.
Last night the dr. stated he did not have to stay on dialysis over night and in the morning he will be re-evaluated. so! we will keep you posted when we get an update.

Today has been a good day. His vitals look pretty good. His potassium is low and is now on a low-potassium diet. Camdyn just completed 8 hours of dialysis and is now getting ready for a wagon ride. We are able to take him to a location in the hospital that has large windows, and he will be able to watch the fireworks :) fun!
He has a total of 5cc's of urine today. Not much to most - but HUGE for us :)
We hope you all are having a great 4th of July weekend. Good night.

Caroline and I pray for Camo to get better every day. She keeps saying "he will be better soon so he can come and play at school" We just wanted you to know that all the staff and their families and the friends in his class are praying for Camo and with that much love in your corner something GREAT is bound to happen soon.
We are coming to see you this weekend and wanted to get Camo a gift. Is there anything that he needs? We hope you all are well on this 4th of July.
