Two Words: HOME TONIGHT!


It's all come together quickly . . . Cam has a dialysis appointment for tomorrow in LA.

He’s still feeling rotten from the C.diff and head/chest cold, but he’s been talking about home for a week.

Angels have come together to make it happen. The dialysis technicalities holding things up on the Los Angeles end gave way to an angel doctor in LA, who has been our primary care physician since Cam’s diagnosis, and who we just learned last week happens to be a nephrologist (kidney doctor). 

Gotta love those coincidences, right? Not. That’s our Heavenly Father, that's your prayers and positive thoughts, that’s good karma, that’s a universe conspiring for our good . . . that’s whatever else you want to call it, but it’s not a coincidence.

We owe our flights, transportation and last night's hotel to generous angels we adore: Brad, Dan, Elissa, Kendal, Haewon, Garnet, and Clarence. Oh, wait. Clarence wasn’t in on this one. It all smacks of his kind of work, though. Our friends are clearly in cahoots with his celestial antics.

Cam will hopefully be comfortable in the first-class upgrade, and we will change planes in Dallas/Fortworth, where we hope he can rest in the upgrade lounge between flights. I’ll give you an update then. Our flight out of Charlotte -- where we stayed the night -- is this morning at 11:40. At 5pm PST, I hope Los Angeles will be able to throw her arms around a man none worse for the travel. 

Cam needs your prayers and positive thoughts. It seems like as soon as we booked the tickets Saturday night, Sunday and Monday decided to come in with a vengeance to test him. He’s as bad as I’ve ever seen him since he got out of the hospital. 

But he wants home.

We can do this. You’ve helped us – are helping us. We feel it.
