Updates on Cameron's progress and fundraising information With a quick response from family, friends and emergency personnel, Cam was revived in the ambulance.

On October 10, 2021, the Taft family experienced a horrific tragedy when their youngest son Cameron (22 months) had a near-fatal drowning accident. He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital and was transferred to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, IL, where he remained in the ICU until November 1st. Cameron was on a ventilator for the first nine days fighting for his life. Mo and Chaz were given news that no parent wants to hear, and that they needed to make a decision. Mo was always taught "Where there is life, there is hope". Cam still had life in him! Testing showed that Cameron sustained a severe brain injury and the road to recovery would be long one. They are ready to take on that road! Cam showed progress at Lurie. He was taken off the ventilator and could breath on his own. GOD IS GOOD! He kept making positive steps in the right direction. After three weeks at Lurie, he was transferred to in-patient rehab at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, where receives extensive therapy every day. He continues to make progress and keeps amazing everyone! He has a long road ahead, but he keeps proving everybody wrong and keeps showing us that he has incredible strength! We are sharing this page because we believe in power of prayer. The more people that pray for Cam, the better his outcome will be. We will be posting updates on his progress and will be sharing any future fundraising efforts. Please, say a prayer for Cameron every day. Hug and kiss your loved ones tight because you never know what a day could bring. We thank our lucky stars that we get to spend another day giving Cam and his brothers every day kisses!

Cam has been doing great! Mayo helped tremendously with the medicines that he is on. Knock on wood… We have not had a hospitalization in over a year now. We have been so busy back to school, therapies, Drs appointments and going to all of his brothers activities. He has lost five teeth so far, including his two front teeth! 😊 we had a pulmonary appointment which went great. We have a sick action plan in case he does get sick over the winter months. He has had two rounds of Botox in his limbs feet and wrists to help with the tone in his body, which seems to be working! We also saw complex care which they were thrilled at how well he’s doing! Since all of his mast cell symptoms have subsided, we have not seen a seizure, which is the greatest news of all! He continues to go to school three days a week where he does Speech Therapy PT, OT and vision therapy. I also take him to outside Therapy for Speech, PT, and OT. We soon will be starting aquatic PT and OT therapy in the pool, which will be different and we are looking forward to that! He’s loving first grade and making so many friends which makes this mamas heart happy! Thank you for keeping Cameron in your prayers. They are working! ❤️🙏🏻

Cameron has a lot of fun at Therapy! He really enjoys the swing! He has been using his button to say some words beautifully! He loves that he can communicate with it. He is in there and he definitely understands and loves that he can communicate! Check out the video! (don’t mind the mosquito bite on his face… With all of his allergy symptoms he now has a thing called Skeeter syndrome when he gets bit by a mosquito bite… Just add one more thing on the plate!)

Finally got to see the mast cell specialist at Children’s Wisconsin. He was great! He definitely believes Cam has chronic Urticaria. He suggested starting him and not only the antihistamines and mast cell stabilizer he’s been on but also starting a shot for allergies. He wanted to talk to his G.I Doctor first to see if one of the shots would be better than the other concerning all of his G.I. issues. They were thinking either Xolair or Dupixent. Once we hear back from his G.I doctor we will go from there. Overall, it was a great meeting! We have an upcoming neurology appointment this week as well. Seizure wise he has been doing great! I haven’t noticed any seizures since getting all of his mast cell/allergy issues under control. I’ll keep you guys posted on what neurology says.
Overall Summer has been great! A lot of hanging with his brothers and enjoying each other’s company! Thanks again for all of the love and support!

Cam has been having a great summer so far! Since upping his antihistamines to a very high dose with a mast cell stabilizer, the hives have stopped. We also started doing a breathing treatment/shaky vest in the morning and evening to help with his secretions which has also helped tremendously. I have not needed to suction him in over a month.
We had a dermatology appointment and everything looked great! We had another cerebral palsy/orthopedic appointment where we decided we should try something for his very stiff tone in his body. We started him on a low dose of baclofen. We also decided to try a round of Botox in his limbs to help with the stiffness. I have seen a little bit of a change with that so far, but it does take a few weeks to fully kick in. Im looking forward to seeing if that helps him! I am so grateful so for the Nursing help that I’ve had as well. They have been awesome! It really helps me run Cameron‘s brothers around to their extra curricular activities without making him go with, especially when he’s not feeling the greatest.
We also started speech therapy back up and he had been using his AAC device really well! He definitely follows commands and is getting a better hang of it!
Looking forward to the rest of a great summer!
