On Tuesday, Cam headed in to meet a new doc, a pediatric rheumatologist. He had reviewed Cam's blood work and latest effusion as well as our medical histories. After examining how our son's joints were responding, he noted exactly where Cam's pain was in the left leg. Conclusion: more tests needed. After a notation to schedule an MRI, we headed off to drop Cam at school and pick up a prescription later that day. For the first time in many weeks, Cam (and his parents) had a much more restful night of sleep. For starters, it was the first time Cam was able to remain in his bed the entire night (vs. couch, power chair, hammock swing) in a very long time.
The friends all played bocce ball together and shared their lunchtime. Cam named all of the teachers, friends and aides he saw. A big shout out to Ms. Barbara, Ms. Nancy (who Cam claimed was most excited to see him), Ms. Ginny, Ms. Erin, and Ms. Kate! Upon arrival home that day, Cam did declare it was his "most favorite field trip ever!"

We received an email from Cam's teacher at the end of the week noting that she'd seen a big difference in him at school since he'd been experiencing more restful sleep.
And truly, our family noted a definite upswing on the mood scale overall. Our theme song is no longer "I'm So Tired" by the Beatles...

"Stella, I have to go to school now. I'll be home later. You will see me then."
