finally have a date . . . updated 19/2 pg4

[buzz for boys]

Thank you everyone - im never really after a repky I just write it down to vent and whenever I come back on here and see so many replies I always feel so humbled so thank you.
Ive managed to hurt my back this afternoon - so much for keeping busy So now I have a lot of thinking time - fab timing or what

Hang in there Louise.

There is light at the end of your tunnel and things will now be happening quicker than you thought - which has to be a good thing for Cam. He has lots of birthdays to come, each of which will be extra special for all of you after what you have been through.

yeah I know last year he celebrated his birthday with stitch at wdw so he had a fab day last year and I said to wayne tonight if that was his alst birthday we did him proud without knowing it !!
Cam has had his 2nd birthday on chemo so his brithday was already a bitter sweet day and every year theres always a tinge of sadness and an air of gratitude that he reached another birthday so this will not really change that.

Poor Cam, when is his birthday Louise?

Love to you all

So sorry to bring all this here again just need to say this and then get on with the day.
We recieved the official letter today telling us what time cams op will be and where to go for it. Having a piece of paper in my hand meant I could no longer pretend it wasnt happening.
I then had to ring them up as we have a million and one questions and now im stiffling tears as once again the information i wanted was propbably better not knowing till the day.
His operation is going to be an approximate gut churning 8 hours and then he will stay in for at least 1 day probably upto 4 days.
Ive told Cam he needs to stay in for longer than we thought ( we thought 1 night) and Cam has gone into meltdown which so far has lasted 45 mins and I cant say anything to make it better. Im gutted that we will be in for longer as there are so many bad memories associated with that place and I was just about coping with the idea of 1 night more will just be excrutiating - im being a tit i know I am. So 5 days to go . . .

It might not be nice but you know its the best place for him to be.

Can't imagine how hard this must be.

You have definately done the right thing telling him Louise. We know from experience that you can't 'spring' these things on kids like ours and the more time they have to adapt the better they cope with it.
You know in your heart that Cams needs are best served in hospital, as much as you both may hate it, and I am sure once he starts getting his cards and prezzies and all the other attention that comes with a stay in hospital he will feel like the special little boy that he is.

Big hugs Louise. You absolutely did the right thing in telling Cam as it would have been far worse for you, if he got there and had to stay longer. Stay strong for little Cam, if anybody can do it, you can. Will be thinking of you all.

Take care
Tina xx
