Love Camden Strong

Sometimes you just know your child is special, not because your the mommy but because the energy and feelings that surge through you as your baby grows Every now and then though comes a child that will take the world by storm. These aren't your average little ones, these are your real life super heroes that will steal the hearts of many with a courageous journey and the beginning of a fighters story. So here goes Camden's....Camden was born November 17th 2015 with a condition known as gastroschisis. This is when there is a hole in the abdomen that gives space for the intestines to be outside of the body. He spent several days under the care of Pediatricians at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia until they deemed him stable enough to perform corrective surgery this. 37 days after his birth we received a Christmas blessing! He came home on December 24th to his family and Loved ones. The past year has been a journey though, he has gotten sick several times and been in and out of doctors offices as well as the hospital without any diagnosis that could explain what was going on. On his 1st birthday he was able to celebrate with his family at Disney for several days and enjoy some of his time there. However, once again he became sick and upon his return to Pennsylvania had to go to the E.R. On November 27th we received the news that no parent ever wants to hear. Camden was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called Nueroblastoma. As a result he was sent back to CHOP to begin this new fighting journey! His Pediatric Oncologists estimate that he will require extensive treatment for approximately one year of chemotherapy, surgery, and several other types of treatment required to get him through this. At this time he has a strong team of people that love him dearly and will do anything possible to make sure he gets through this. However, this is a very sensitive time for his family and they need lots of love, supportive words, encouragement, prayer, and positive vibes. His page Love Camden Strong was created as a way for his family to share Camden's journey, updates, photos, and feelings without having to address constant questions and re-explain his story to people over and over because it is emotionally exhausting! We hope you all can open your hearts to his journey. As a result of Camdens Cancer the Family has been affected by drastic changes. Due to Chemotherapy Cycles, and Low counts in blood work, as well as fevers and feeding tube placements Camden has been hospitalized repeatedly and only his mother and father are allowed to stay in the hospital with him.As a result his mom can no longer work at her job that requires 8 to 10 hours shifts as well as care for her older son and attend to her own appointments as well as Camdens needs while working at the same place that sustained her home. Any assistance that can be provided for travel to and from Reading Pa to Philadelphia Pa as well as other things the family may need would be appreciated please find it in your heart to help anyway possible.Thank you and God Bless You All!
