I would say it was funny how just when you think things will be fine...life has a way of messing with your head, but really there is nothing funny about it at all. I am sad to post today because there was really nothing to write about until I got the email that I am attaching. I know it is to be expected that things will get worse before they get better due to Caden's low white blood cell count etc, BUT man I can't help but think "when will this poor baby catch a break? I just want a few pictures in which I know that the smile on his face won't be followed with more pain and sickness. I just want to see pictures and know that he is a happy HEALTHY little boy with no more worries that someone his age should not have to deal with at any point in his or her life. As the attached email will show you, unfortunately this is not the case right now.
"Well...we knew this was coming. We need prayers, warm thoughts and wishes. There is something going on with him and he is going in for a CAT scan this morning. I am afraid his head is hemorrhaging. They will do a head, neck, chest and abdomen scan. He is complaining of pain in the back of his head and it is a little swollen. His platelets and RBC has been dropping in extremes and he has had to have a Red Blood and platelet transfusion in the last 24 hours. Then if that isn't enough he has a strange rash or something spreading over his body. He is having a hard time walking. He just has not been himself. There was a child at the McDonald house and the ward where Caden is that was diagnosed with Shingles. So now Cameron is going to be on isolation and Caden has been exposed. We are hoping that the rash forming on his body is not shingles!!! Caden has absolutely no immune system and cannot fight anything. We have been here over 6 months now and we are all ready to be done and home. The reality is though we have several weeks left. Please pray for us all."
So there you have it. I need all my praying people to pray. As a matter of fact, if you just happened upon this blog and you feel moved to do so, please send a prayer, well wish, or positive thoughts his way. All forms are welcome. Thanks.

That poor poor baby. I just couldn't imagine. Why does this happen? Why? He's just a baby!
Jennifer, I will pray more that his body can recover. Prayer can work. I believe it with all my heart.
JennyP,
I know. I keep thinking that it's not right for anyone to have to go through all that. Then I think that it's even worse for a child who doesn't understand that it WILL end and has no true idea of why mom, grandma etc. are letting people jab needles in them and make them vomit. It's too sad to think about too long.
Corinnea,
Thank you VERY much for your prayers. Truthfully, I totally believe in the prayer and know for a fact that it works.
