The Rieves Family

August marks Camden's 2nd birthday! We had our last chemo treatment on August 9...just 3 days before Camden's birthday! Camden acted like he did the first time around - he was clingy and took a really long nap during his treatment. We didn't do that much walking or playing but we did take cupcakes for the nurses & other kids...of course, everyone loved them! On Wednesday, Camden was acting fine until that afternoon, he woke up from his nap and didn't want to play outside yet wanted to go back to sleep. We had to wake him up for dinner at 7 pm, he didn't eat very much and went right back to sleep. I called the on-call Oncologist and she said to bring him in if he started running a fever. Aroung 12 am, we were headed to Vandy. Camden slept most of the day Thursday but did wake up long enough for the Oncology nurses to spoil him with presents and a huge birthday poster they had made for him! Luckily, all he had was a viral fever - so, after being pumped full of antibiotics we were able to come home Saturday. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances we had to cancel his birthday party which was scheduled for Saturday but we're definitely going to reschedule and celebrate in a couple of weeks! He had his re-evaluation with Kristin (his physical therapist), she said the only thing he needs work on is jumping and climbing the stairs by himself. We have an Occupational Therapy evaluation on Friday. Camden still goes to speech once a week and does AWESOME...PawPaw no longer has to stay in the room with him!! He starts daycare in 3 weeks - I am so sad but I know he will love meeting and playing with all his new friends. We are going to go down there a few times during their playtime to get to know the teachers and kids before he starts! I have loved spending all of this extra time with him but knew the day was coming when I would have to head back to work....
