Update on Cam, 3

We have been overloaded with information in the last day.  We have settled in in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, and have talked with so many doctors I don't know all their names. :)  Cameron has a busy day today.  As I write this blog, he is in surgery having a biopsy done on his kidneys so the doctors can better diagnose what is causing his kidneys to malfunction.  Later on today he will be going through kidney dialysis.
  Basically, we're going to be here for at least 2 weeks.  I (Jared) will stay for the first week, or at least until we have a clear idea of what has to be done to help Cam.  The doctors we have talked to have been very encouraging, and we know that Cam's situation is VERY serious, but not life threatening.  The doctor told me last night that in the short term, Cam's outlook is very positive, however we'll have to see what the long term looks like.  The biopsy will help to decide that.
  Cam has been a good boy, in spite of all the pokes and jabs and blood taken.  He's doing okay.  When we get into a routine, that will be helpful.  Part of the stress has simply been not knowing what's next.  The doctors assured me that there will be a routine once they have figured out the best way to help Cam.
  We are thinking of the long-term, and I may be going back to Katherine while Cheri stays with Cameron, we're still thinking and talking about it.

Things you can be praying for:
1. Wisdom for the doctors.
2.  Healing for Cam.
3.  Peace for us.
4.  That the biopsy will really give the doctors a clear understanding of what needs to be done to help Cam.
5.  Please pray Cheri and I will take care of ourselves so we can better serve Cam and help him.
6.  Pray for Alice and Bethany while we're apart from them. (though I'm sure they're having a blast with their friends in Katherine!  They are in good hands.)

Things to praise God for:
1.  We are in a country and a city where Cam is in the best possible place to help him!! (He even has his own personal nurse!)
2.  We got to fly on the same plane down to Adelaide.
3.  So many people are praying for us that we can't even count them all!
4.  Good friends watching over Alice and Bethany in our absence.
5.  Cheri's teachers have been very understanding of our situation, and have given her "study leave" as a result of the circumstances.

Thank you again so much for your prayers and love.  We know God is in control, and we feel blessed to know so many people are lifting us up in prayer, and especially Cameron.  God bless, yumob! :)
