Camdyn had a great nights rest and woke up happy :) He ate all of his breakfast this morning and as soon as he was finishing up - the nurse came in and said it was time to go for his catheter x-rays. We took him to the x-ray room, and while he was laying down - they "de-ballooned" his catheter in hopes he could "tee tee" on his own - and this would naturally push the catheter out of his body - on its own. He could not "tee tee" on his own laying down (even after the nurses poured a couple of bottles of warm water on "that area", hoping this would trick his body into feeling like it's in a bath tub... so he would have the sensation to urinate. This did not work either. So! We sat him up and asked him if he wanted to stand up and tee-tee like a big boy - he said "yes!". As soon as he stood up (and we had the cup/bottle in place) - he "tee-teed" all on his own - and pushed the catheter out! he experienced NO PAIN at all!!! We have never been so happy to see him tee-tee!!! Oh my goodness! We are super thrilled :)
We are back in his hospital room right now, waiting on the results from the x-rays. Camo is trying to walk around everywhere. He is doing a great job! He is still really wobbley and unstable, but is anxious to get going! Camdyn is in such a great mood.. he is laughing and loveable... very much like the sweet baby boy we know.
The nurse just stepped in and said that at 2:30pm the dr. is going to remove his vascath (the catheter in his chest)... We asked the nurse if this means the results from the x-rays were great?! the nurse assumes "yes" but is not for certain. The dr. will come by shortly to update us.
Thank GOD! What an amazing answer to all of our prayers!!!! WOW! We are soo happy and relieved! We are so close now :)
***Thank you our Heavenly Father, for the mercy and goodness you have shown to our precious baby. We praise you for the healing you have delivered in Camdyn's body. ***

Camo's dr. came by around 2pm and was ready to do the procedure. We took Camdyn on a wagon ride to the 2nd floor and into the Operating Room. The dr. said he would not need to sedate Camo - he would simply use an instrument (similar to a pair of tweezers) and pull of the stitches and vascath. Camdyn cried, not because he was feeling any pain, but because he was fearful that he would feel pain - at any given second. The procedure only lasted about 10minutes. Once the dr. completed the procedure, we gave Camo a Popsicle and took him for another wagon ride back to our room. The dr. said the only precaution we need to take at this time - is no full bath for 3 days (today counting as day #1). Easy enough!
We are back in our room now. Camdyn is playing with his race cars, batman and superman... and just laughing and talking up a storm. He is so happy and relieved. The plan now, is to be able to leave here tomorrow (on Friday) and take him home :) yipee!!!!
We can not express our gratitude enough - to all of you for your prayers, thoughts and love. Thank you so much to everyone for all of your messages, phone calls, gifts and continuous visits to the hospital. You are all amazing, we are so blessed to have such an amazing circle of family and friends.
We love you all.

What a strong willed little boy. We could all learn something about perseverance from your little man and the trying times he has experienced over the last few weeks. What makes it all the more impressive is he is only 3 years old. I'm happy to hear the good news.
