I'm only twenty-two months old and I've been diagnosed with Type I (yep, juvenile) diabetes. I guess my pancreas was attacked by my auto-immune system recently and now it doesn't work. My pancreas doesn't make insulin.
But that's OK. My Daddy's pancreas doesn't work either, and neither does my favorite Aunt Gigi's or my Uncle Nathan's or my Grandpa Kip's. We just don't make insulin.
It's OK because I don't know what a pancreas is and I don't care. I just need to be hugged a lot.
Next to creamsickles, I like insulin best.
I'm OK, though. My Mommy is all over this. She loves me and kisses me a lot and she reads to me every night, too. She does that because I'm a little kid and you're 'sposed to read to little kids.
My Nana loves me a lot too. She lets me come stay with her and play with Chelsea and we go for a walk every morning. I sit on my push trike and Nana pushes me all over the neighborhood and I get to see flowers and birds and things.
My Nana has to give me booboos. It doesn't hurt so I don't know why it makes my Nana sad but it does. She doesn't like giving me booboos. I think my Nana is nice and I hope she will stop feeling sad about giving me booboos soon.
and eases their pain and discomfort.
Psalm 41:3

Hi Cameron,
What a brave and sweet little boy you are! Keep smiling and listen to your Nana. She loves you so...
What a sweet, sweet face. Nana is doing a great job with Cameron! Have a wonderful weekend Barb.
He is so cute. I guess since we're looking on the positive side, it's a good thing he was diagnosed early on. Especially for his health, but I guess he will always remember this new life of his as "normal" too. I think that's a blessing in disguise.
I love how Chelsea is watching him. She's a doll herself. :)
Hugs for a happy weekend,
Michelle
What a sweet picture and post. :)
Oh if that isn't the sweetest thing!

That's the face of a sweet angel. And your post made me swallow hard. What a beautiful post. It needs to be printed and scrapbooked.
Blessings,
~Toni~
Your nana is pretty special. Give her a big hug, that'll make her smile!
And Cameron, I love creasickles, too!
how precious is he!!???
I am so glad that you are *ALL* adjusting to this.
Blessings, Barb,

From what I'm hearing and reading between the lines, the booboos are bothering Nana a lot worse than they are Cameron.
I looked for Chelsea in that picture, and I found her. Just to the right, as close to Cameron as she could get without actually being in the chair with him.
I knew she'd be close. ;D
Have a great weekend and get some rest, Barb. :-)
Love and hugs,
Diane
Cameron, I agree with you completely...your Nana is very nice and loves you bunches and you are just too adorable.
Have a blessed weekend.

Mr. Cameron - could you BE any cuter? You are a precious brave boy and it is so obvious how much your Nana adores you! Nana's have a very special kind of love! Be sure to give her extra hugs, and hopefully one day she won't feel quite as sad having to give you boo boos. She is a special Nana for sure!
I just want to eat you all up little Cameron...how sweet are you!!!
What a cutie-pie. Glad that you are all getting adjusted.
Hi Cameron!
I'm at the other side of the world and can still see your pinkies!
Look at Chelsea getting in the pic, again!!!
That little face! And look at Chelsea checking up on him! Cuuuute.
Little Cameron, You are just the cutest little boy. I'm sorry about your booboos, but I'm glad they don't hurt. I thought of you the other day when I drove past a summer camp and the sign said "Camp Ho Mida Koda - for children with diabetes". It made me smile to think that there are safe places that you can go to have fun and enjoy your childhood and mommy and daddy won't have to worry about you. Take care of your Nana!
If I could give you and that adorable little boy a hug I would.Praying that your adjustment to all this continues to go so well.
Cameron, you are the sweetest little thing. Your Nana is, too, and there are lots of people all over the world who read your story and have been blessed by it.
Barb, you've really gotta quit making me cry. ;) *hugs!*
Dear Cameron,
I can see by your picture that you are a big boy now with strong legs and bright eyes and two very best friends in that pic with you. I hope you and your Mommy and Daddy have a good weekend. I hope your Nana takes it easy this weekend too :)
You have a good Nana. God's going to use her to help take care of you. And He's going to use you to help sanctify her. Hang in there, Buddy.
Hey little buddy!! You are being so very brave and strong and we're all soooo proud of you:-) xox
Hi, sweet boy! I love you and I've never met. I love your Nana too. I hope someday you have a brother or sister to love. I know lots of people with diabetes, too, and they're all living full lives. Thank God for good doctors and good medicine.
You are special!
what a beautiful little boy you are Cameron and you have one very special nana!stay strong and all will be well GB you all keeping you in my prayers :0)
What a adorable little boy. H e is so sweet and innocent looking. He has no worries in life from his prospective. All he needs to do is look and the birds and trucks and all the wonderful things the Lord has provided for him. He is in my prayers and so are all of his family. Lord I thank you for this little boy and ask Lord that you heal his body from this horrible disease that you wrap your arms around this family and speak sweet words into their ear. Give them the verses to hold on to let them see your mighty hand through all of this give them comfort. Amen
Love, Char
You are a very blessed little guy Cameron. You have a wonderfully loving Nana! I am praying for you and for your family as they learn how to make your care as normal as possible.
love,
Annie
Izzy's mom
Cameron - I am glad that the Lord has surrounding you with an incredible family. I know it hurts your Nana to give you booboos, but it because she loves you so much. I know over time she will be okay with it :)
(((hugs))) to you little, brave guy.
Hi Cameron, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well. You are a very brave, good boy. You have a very special family, and they are taking good care of you. And Jesus loves you so very much. Your Nana is doing such a good job learning how to do all the things she needs to do. She loves you and doesn't want anything to ever hurt you.
You're doing a wonderful job Nana. Somehow God gives us grace to do the things that hurt our hearts a bit. I'm praying for you.
Have a blessed weekend.
A wise woman came to my blog and said that only good mothers walk around with broken hearts. You will heal, too, Nana. I promise. xxxxoooGretchen
what a lovely post
Cameron is such an awesome little guy
Hes so brave and sweet
May God wrap His loving arms around you all and give you all a big hug full of strength and love
That Cameron has acquired his Nana's knack for writing a great post. And isn't he just the sweetest little face? Of course he is! But I don't HAVE to say that. And I see that Chelsea is, as always, right there keeping an eye on things. Glad to hear that he is doing well. God is good to love our little ones even more than we do.
What a writer you are! You literally brought tears to my eyes. What a neat perspective to just take a step back and look at this whole ordeal from Cameron's point of view. Isn't it amazing how much OUR hearts can hurt when the little ones in our lives are sick? You're doing great, Nana! Keep up the great work - of being a caretaker, and of sharing with us your experience.
Hi Cameron,
Just checking in on you and your sweet Nana and, of course, on Chelsea. You are LOVED, little guy! Have a happy Sunday!
(((Hugs)))
DK
I had to go back and look at the picture again to check on Chelsea after reading some of the comments. Sure enough, there she is. All's right with the world if Cameron and Chelsea are together!
Thank you for a sweet post full of inspiration and hope.
You are going to be just fine Cameron! You have some amazing people watching out for you and people from all over praying for you...and for your Nana!
I am praying for you and all of your family Cameron
Sounds like all of you are holding up just fine, Cameron and his toes, his mom and you. Sweet photo, and bet that tommy tippee has water in it instead of juice now.
You're absolutely right, Bev. But it's strawberry flavored Dasani so he doesn't even know it's not juice. :-)
Be still my heart! This is sooo sweet:) hugs, hugs, hugs
He's so adorable Barb, I'm glad he's doing good as well as his parents and Nana. I know how hard this has to be for you but you're so strong, you'll make it through.
Have a wonderful day,
♥Sandra♥
What a precious little one! I hope his Nana ceases to be sad soon, too. And I'm so glad Cameron has so many wonderful people in his life to help take care of him!! God has given him a whole family of people who can relate to what he's going through and will experience.
Howdy, Cameron,
You're a very brave boy! Do you know that lots and lots of people have been praying for you?
And in case you're wondering... you have a wonderful mommy and one of the best nana's on the planet.
That is just the sweetest thing I've read in a while. Cameron your very lucky to have such a loving Nana!
"For with God nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37)
I'm with you dear friend.....
Barb, Cameron is a doll. I know it hurts you to have to poke him; it would me! But, he seems to be taking this all in stride. He'll be fine - God is watching over him, as well as over you and his parents.
I feel so much better now after seeing his sweet face...Thanks.
Too cute. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad he is "all better".
And just for the record, they don't count as booboos if "the doctor said so". :-)
Take care Dear Friend. God Bless
