Tracie and Doug!

Larry was channel surfing tonight and a picture of Douglas flashed before him on our TV screen, then more pictures of Douglas and Cameron followed. He called for me to come running and we found ourselves inches away from the TV so see what the connection was.

About twenty minutes later there you were on stage speaking! Tracie, you did a tremendous job, and all three of you looked fabulous! How nice to see you after so long ago at the Huebner�s wedding. And so awesome to see the Pennies for Nicoll organization actively engaging the community!

Thank you for keeping us informed � I read your website regularly and love to hear news about your family from our friends in Colorado Springs. I will never forget visiting you in the hospital after you delivered Douglas � what a beautiful child he was and will always be in my heart. I have fond memories of playing with him in the office while you worked � what a sacrifice on my part!

Although I have never met Cameron, I feel that I know him through your journal and pictures. One day I will meet him in person, and I eagerly await that day.

God and I have a standing conversation about your strength as parents. I know I�m not the only one bending his ear.

Great job tonight, Nicolls!

Dear Doug and Tracie, everytime I view the "Photo Album" and see Cameron on the playground I get a smile on my face. He is growing so fast. It's been a couple of years since I've seen him, and he appears to be a "little man." I think and pray for you daily.
Love Always,

Dear Tracie,
I am so sorry that 60 years is your "Worst" case-scenario. That is not as it should be in anyones life but I sure understand. It is nearly unbearlble for you to be separated from douglas. I love you years-to minutes conversion. I am sure Douglas is not suffering and will be thrilled to see you whenever you get there. Please try and enjoy your time with us as much as you can (I know you cant just, PUFF, make that happen). Douglas wouldn't want you to be suffering either and more than you fear he is missing you. Sending lots of love, Anne

What a beautiful thought...I know your angel is watching you and keeping you through the hard days and the harder days; smiling, and giving you gentle hugs when you need it most. Today he is celebrating two years of being pain free and being able to send all his renewed strength down to you, Doug, and Cam. We are ALL blessed to have that little angel up there for us, on our side.

Lots of hugs,
Gretchen

PS: It is so wonderful to have "Mama Jane" out here this week. We are so grateful to her for being here with Grandma while Mom and Dad get away for their 40th anniversary, and we promise to send her back to you in good working condition and orders for lots of hugs and kisses!

Dear Tracie
Your updates always touch our hearts. Yes, we have lived the nightmare you describe, unfortunately in double. The ground was lost under our feet. Life was never the same again.
But we trully believe, that the only way out of this nightmare (since there is no cure yet for Sanfilippo) is through having healthy children. Death (and having a child with Sanfilippo is a long and painful road to death) can only be beaten through life. One (or why not?) two healthy kids in a family with one or two or even three Sanfilippo kids is a triumph of life over death and sickness. Healthy kids offer an incredible assistance to both parents and sick siblings. This was the advice, that our doctors gave to us, when our kids were diagnosed and not having them transplanted and we realise now how right they were.
We are very happy to read , that Cam is doing very well and we send our warmest wishes to your precious Angel for his 5th birthday.
Kisses,
Savvas-Marianna-Dionysos.

No day could be worse. Cam looks wonderful in the pics. I miss your family. I hope that you are able to come out to Cleveland this summer.

A syndrome that is so very cruel and relentless � causing your child to become severely retarded. A syndrome that will ruin every single precious cell in his body - slowly assaulting each and every organ so that the short life they do have on earth is spent in and out of hospitals and exam rooms, confined to a wheelchair, in diapers, with diarrhea, a feeding tube, seizures, bed sores, ear infections, sinus infections, respiratory infections, bone and joint pain � until their death.
Unfortunately, that describes my little princess Ciara to a tee. Prayerfully, Cameron will not have to go thru any of this!

I had a hard time viewing the pictures. They are "oversized" and too large for the monitor screen. Can you resize them and post them again? I tried from my end, and it didn't work.

The new pictures of Cam are fantastic! So handsome and such beautiful eyes! I think seeing the pictures is our favorite part of the visits to the website.
Bike rides with Mom and Dad must be a very special and fun time for Cam. I know Bryce and Kris loved bike rides, the wind in their face, and the fun of it all. Maybe Cam can get some "Cool Dude" sunglasses to wear for the sun, and to make the girls swoon.
All our love and prayers, and extra ones for you Tracie now that you have your little ankle mishap to tend to. Ouch!

Tracie, I just hate the looks and side comments, even in front of us. We have experienced some nasty comments before also, I usually say something to the effect of "when your child has a terminal disorder....." that shuts them up!

People can be stupid...sorry you had to endure such a dumb comment. Cameron is amazing and is hitting so many milestones that most Sanfilippo kids never see. I feel bad for that woman...she didn't realize she was in the company of such a special child

Tracie,
How horribly unfair that YOU should be put in the position to have to "be the bigger person" with someone so insensitive. After all you have been through I wish we could just put a force field around you to protect you from anything and anyone that could potentially hurt you. I will say an extra prayer for you that God will dig deep in his pockets and give you that much extra strength yet again for when you have to deal with such ignorance. More power to you, girl. I might have punched her in the nose if it were me. Immature, yes, but you can bet she would never forget it :) We can only hope that she has at least thought about it since then and realized how hurtful she was and maybe learned a good lesson from it.

My first reaction at reading your entry was to ask who this lady was and where is she so I may "inform" her...then my feelings changed to pity for her, for she is obviously one of those people whose head is not in reality; whose nose is in every one else's business; whose heart is disconnected. I don't think I have ever really wanted to hit someone before this... *deep Breath*...ok.

Glad to hear that things are still going so well! I love the pictures that are up; seeing the great out doors there makes me really miss Colorado!!!

Lots and lots of hugs!

Well, I just read your entry and I think I looked like a deer caught in the head lights. I really think that people can be so idiotic. Well, I was wearing my Pennies For Nicoll tee shirt yesterday when I picked Gabby up from school and the Owner of the school stopped me and asked me what that was. I began to tell her, and she said that she was so glad that she asked because she has been hearing about the stem cell research but never knew anyone that was taking advantage of it. I was telling her the story of Douglas and Cameron and I was getting all teary eyed and the goosebumps. So, I look over and I see this little boy with THE BLONDEST hair walking down the hall just smiling at me. It was very heartwarming. I just thought that would put a smile on your face after the "Walmart incident".
We love and think about you all the time. Give Cam hug and kisses for us. Take good care of yourselves.

Hi Doug and Tracie, the pictures and the update are great! I noticed Cam has a "boo boo" on his knee. That tells me he's becoming a typical little boy...climbing, running, and falling. How wonderful Doug can take him for bike rides! I would love to see him give his "high five." Every little step in development will add up, and with prayers, he'll catch up to himself!

Thanks for writing this note. I hope others now understand that you were attempting a better life for the boys, not a cure, though a cure would have been preferable, obviously. You all have been through so much in this journey already. May the coming months bring stability and learning for Cam. How old was he when he went through the transplant? Daniel was 2 yrs, 9 months. I know 'the younger, the better' holds true in theory. Hope it works in your favor. I am holding up...Daniel would have been 18 this month and 15 years post transplant. My heart aches daily. Christmas was so difficult and his birthday was excruciating. I didn't even go to work that day, I was a basket case...

May Cam's progress become more visible to you...seeing it is believing it. When things don't change on the outside too much, it's hard to realize how far you've come.

God Bless all of you!

Your strength and faith are truly an inspiration. On a side note, has Cam enjoyed meeting Great Grandma Cain? And I bet she just fell in love with him!! Take care, God bless, and keep fighting the good fight.

Happy Valentine's Day. Thank you for your update and the clear picture of Cameron's progress. It is hard to understand it all when you look at the pictures and he looks sooo good. I will pray that Cameron gains skills every day and that the enzyme he now has will help his brain to heal and develop. "Wait and See" is an awfully hard thing to do, esp when it is for your baby! Every day I hope Andrew will just "get it" and catch up and function on his age level. It is very hard but we too are filled with HOPE. Love, Anne

Doug & Tracie,
What wonderful news about Cam! I haven't had a computer for over a month, so I missed all the great news last month. I am so happy for all of you! The pictures are adorable. Tracie, I couldn't belive how much Cam looks like you when you were a toddler. It was like looking at a picture I have of you at around age 2. He is absolutely beautiful! Give Cam a big hug and kiss from all of us.

Doug & Tracie,
On New Years Day, we once again unplugged the lights placed on a tree in our back yard, planted in memory of our son, Steven, who left us in November, 2002 after his battle with cancer. The lights were let shine from November 17 to New Years Day in memory of the brilliant light he was in our lives; when we unplug them on New Years Day, we pray together that God will see us through another day ... perhaps even another year in spite of missing our boy so much. I always think about your family during these times, I guess because we fought our battles so close to the same time and I know the pain in your hearts without precious little Douglas. Many people try to understand, but until you've said goodbye to your child, a person has no idea! Praise God that we have hope in Him that one day soon Jesus Christ will appear in the sky and reunite us with our boys! Perfect boys! Never to hurt or weep again! I saw today's Gazette article -- what wonderful news that Cam is doing so well!!! God bless you as you watch him progress day by day. Blessings!!!

Hi Doug and Tracie. 2005! What a great beginning to know Cameron made leaps and bounds in development over the holidays and your trip to Florida. How bittersweet it must have been. I'm with you...can't wait to get back to a schedule. His pictures are priceless. I think of you often, and pray for you daily. I'm so happy for Megan. So it's official, she will become a "Mrs." I know her big sister will be there to help her plan the simple wedding she's always wanted. Take care of each other.
Love Always,
Aunt Peg

Hi Tracie,
Happy New Year!!! Your trip to Florida sounded like a nice time, especially the Disney World part! Thats always been a favorite vacation spot for my family (before Nicholas became too "cool" for it anyway!) Congrats to Tim & Megan.....you're right when you say~ FINALLY!!! Sounds like you all are doing well & I'm so happy for you! I think of you still all the time. :)

I wanted to stop by and wish you all a happy and healthy new year! I'm so proud of our little Cam-the-man and happy for you all that he is doing so well. I�m glad you were able to go to the MPS conference. I know how you feel about seeing other children. I want to stay involved with helping children with cancer but it is hard when I see a family with a little bald-headed-girl. I am partly jealous that they still have their little girl, partly sad because I miss mine, and partly scared for their uncertain future. At the radiothon, Nathan got excited when he saw this one little girl because he thought it was Jillian. I don�t always sign but still check on you guys. I can't wait to hear what else Cam conquers this year. How exciting. God Bless!

Hi Doug, Tracie and Cameron,

Thanks for your continued prayers for Lauren. The doctor told us today that Lauren had cell growth over the last 24 hours. Today is her birthday. What a wonderful gift that was. She may get to leave the hospital by Thanksgiving.

Thanks for sharing the Halloween pictures with us. It look like he had a great time. We are anxious for Lauren to be able to participate in those fun activities again too. Your story is an inspiration to all of us who are going through the procedure or considering it as well. Cameron, you are loved by all. We are praying for you.

HEY I'M ZULI'S MOM CARMEN CAMACHO AND ZULI IS BEING TRANSPLANTED IN FLORIDA. SHE DID WELL HER TRANSPLANT TOOK PLACE ON WEDNESDAY AND SHE DID WELL. EXCEPT THAT NOW DUE TO SOME MEDICATIONS OR JUST THE TRAUMA OF THE TRANSPLANT SHE IS EXPERIENCING SOME FEAR. I SPOKE TO CHRISTINE ANNABELLE'S GRANDMA BECAUSE I HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS TRAING TO RAISE SOME MONEY AND SHE SAID TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT A FUND THAT YOU HAVE PUT UP OR MAY KNOW HOW TO HELP ME. I DID NOT GET TO RAISE ANY MONEY AND IF ZULI DOES WELL WE ARE EXPECTED TO GO INTO TRANSPLANT HOUSING. THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. THE HOUSING IS 750 A MONTH AND THE EXPECTED STAY OF COURSE YOU KNOW WILL BE ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS HOPEFULLY. IS THEIR ANY WAY THAT YOU KNOW OF ME GETTING ANY HELP SO THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THE HOUSING?

Once I'm in my bubble bath
I like to stir up more.
Half the suds go in my eyes
And half go on the floor.
The fun is in the bubbles 'cause
They giggle on my skin,
And when I stick them on my face
They dangle from my chin.
And when I splash them hard enough
They pop and disappear,
And then my bath time's over 'cause
I've made the water clear.

Tracie,

Cameron and Doug came over on Sunday morning and after all the strife and pain he has been through, he was all boy out in the yard. He wanted to touch everything!! He was giggling and laughing and running. What a pleasure it was to see that. He really likes the falling down (intentionally) on the grass and rubbing his little bottom on it. He loves to play in the rocks, but didn't try to eat them. Dirt seems to be quite interesting also, but the most amazing thing was the rock wall that surrounds the gardens. He started out by climbing the rock wall in a low place, about 1 and 1/2 feet high. He carefully placed his feet to try and find a solid rock to grab with his toes and those little hands feeling and looking for a stable hold. He was so darn cute. Then he decided he wanted to climb the 3 1/2 foot rock wall and did so by holding his hand out to Doug for help. That wasn't good enough though, he worked and worked until he climbed the big wall all by himself!!!! The look on his face was priceless, so much concentration and pride at his success. I loved the kisses and the hand holding. It was so nice to see Cameron exploring as small children do. He is learning and changing so much every day. My heart bursts with thoughts of his future. Love to all.

I wish I was there to go to the auction. Its times like these that I miss "home"....hope its a HUGE success! Carrie & Patrick are from my home town (Decatur, IL.) so I have been following Baby Jordan for a long time now. When any child dies, its a tragedy, when a child dies that you actually "know" (through Caringbridge or in person) its absolutely heartwrenching. My prayers & thoughts are always with parents that go through this trauma. You are all the bravest people on earth!
With love.........

I sit in front of my computer with tears of joy running down my face for you. What a wonderful feeling to know that Cameron has made it over many mountains of obstacals. How proud you must feel to know that he is "BEATING THIS MONSTER". Gabby transitioned into her new pre school class on Tuesday, and it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY! Our babies are growing leaps and bounds right before our eyes. I am just so happy for you guys. Give Cam a kiss and a hug for us and tell him to have a great time at school.
XOXOXOXOOX WE LOVE YOU~

Tracie, I just got copies of the pictures of Daniel and Cameron in the mail this weekend. You guys are so precious. Thanks for the kind words in your journal. My heart is heavy, still.... There is no pain like that of losing a child. Your words capture some of his spirit. I know he is in heaven now, talking and singing and worshipping the Lord he loved. I'm so glad he had the chance to meet another Sanfilippo child. He's met the Bennett family and the Bowman family. They are all sweet people on this journey.

Daniel's funeral was a celebration of his life. So many people were there to share their own words of how he touched their lives in so many ways. I feel like there is a hole in my heart now. I've spent so many years caring for him, loving him, giving him my marrow, teaching him, hugging him and loving him some more..... I cry tears of loneliness, but I know he is with God now, with a new body that has no disability. His mission on Earth was complete in God's eyes. I may never know the full extent, but I do know there are many people that he touched. His was a life of victory over the trials that life placed in front of him. A part of him lives on in this world.

Tracie,
That is tragic news about Daniel, I can't imagine going through all the transplants and meds, to be taken by accident. I pray for his family. How wonderful, however, that he had made it those 17 years, and to be able to meet him, that is truely great.

Daniel had one last mission from God, to lighten your hearts and bring you more hope. He was obviously a very special soul, and he had done what God wanted him to do and then he was called home. How special, that God loves you and knows you so well, that he saved Daniel's last moments to include you in his life!

To Daniel's grandmother and all his family and friends, you have blessed many though blessing the Nicolls, and you will be in our hearts and prayers. We all love you!

Sincerely,

A: Winnie the Pooh!



Q: Why do bears have fur coats?

Tracie, Doug and Cam,
Wanted to stop in and say hi! I would like to come to see you and family in a few years. We are glad Cam is doing good. Cam will want to wear the hearing aids when he figures out he can hear better. I know its hard to continue to put them back in over and over. Watch out for the mouth trick. Cam, ware your hearing aids and give your mom a break!!!! I bet Cam is really growing and is moving fast. Thanks for stopping to visit when you were at Duke. Hearing aids are a pain in the .....Annabelle has had about 6 or 7 sets of hearing aids in the last year. She would put them in her mouth in seconds and destoring them. Oatmeal is a good place to find the hearing aids. One pair we had replaced ended up in her mouth in 1 hour after getting them back. I hated to call the hearing aid office and tell them the bad news. The audioligst would say, "not again". She still takes them out if she gets bored. When I send the H. Aids back for replacement, they always send them back with non-child proof batteries. I have to send them back again, to get child proof H. aids. Annabelle had the developmental test yesterday and they are pleased with her deveolpment. The audioligst freaked out when he saw Annabelle's hearing aids had teeth marks and non-child proof batteries. He said, the audioligst in Boise must not work in a medical center, he has seen kids eat the batteries and this is very bad when they do. He did not want to give them back to us and told us not to put them back into Annabelle's ears, its to dangerious. I will send them back for another replacement. We are leaving Duke in a week or two to return to Boise. Annabelle is doing good. Annabelle's mother, Jennifer is doing good and goes to 3 classes every week. Jennifer is due with a baby girl around Oct. 10th. and they will be living with me for at least 1 to two years. Its been a long time sense I had a new born in the house. My daughter, Kelsey is 18yrs old and just left to play school soccer in Walla Walla, Washington. I miss her. Write or call sometime. Take care and give Cam a big kiss for Annabelle and me. Pray for Ian, he was transplanted 1 hour after Annabelle. He is not doing to good. www.caringbridge.org/ga/ianmcgahee

Oh boy --your update really made my day!!
I am just thrilled about the hearing aids working out (and saving some major $$$), getting the port out, the immune studies and I could go on and on. And, Dr. check ups every other month - just the best news. Hope it's a smooth journey for a long time!

Your entry was the icing on the cake for me today. Several of my brothers and sisters and their kids came today for a " going away" lunch. Patrick, Carrie and Jordan were here, and it was the first time my family had met Jordan. He spent the afternoon flirting with my brothers two little girls and stealing the hearts of his great aunts.
When I read the earlier updates on Cam, my heart sank. When I checked today and read all your good news, it was one of those HOO RAY!!!! moments. I read your updates faithfully, and pray for you every day. Thanks for the great news. Love to you all, Jordans Gramma Horton

Wow, what wonderful news!!! That is terrific. Way to go Cameron. Maybe the hearing aids wont be so bad. Andrew never bothers his (after that first trip they took into the lake!) I used to think they didn't make any difference for him but I think maybe they do now. He seems to have a little more trouble understanding me and repeating what I say without them in. I was reading the Little Red Hen the other night and I wanted him to say the "Not I" part and he was saying EIEIO. Now I don't know if that was because the animals reminded him of Old MacDonald or because he couldn't hear me very well. Andrew got a little clip with elastic strings that hook to the hearing aid that help him keep from loosing them. It is great-except the time I hooked them to his overalls and they flipped into the toilet. We have a rough time around here. Well I hope you have a great time with that new fully-functioning immune system!! Love, Anne

It's just not that common, as you know. Anyway, this is great news and I can tell how elated you are. That central line coming out is a great thing!!!!!! Go have a pizza and celebrate!!!!!!

Dear Tracie and Doug,

I don't know what to write to you. I wish there was some magic combination of words that would ease the pain, erase the bad memories, restore your life to the innocence it once held. But I know there is so little I can really do, but assure you that I feel pain when I think of what you suffer, and wish ever so much that yours would be eased. I truly pray that you will someday have all your "why" s answered and all your sorrow lifted. That when this short life is over, you will share your eternity in never ending love, with your beloved family. Where there is no more sorrow, or tears, or sadness, but peace without end.

In the meantime, I derive much courage from you, and feel so honored to have Douglas as an advocate in Heaven. May his memory be eternal!!

A FACE IN THE CLOUDS

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face
And wondered just were you have gone
With a hope it�s a better place

Did you show yourself to me today
To tell me you�re alright?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight

Then I thought of when you left
You did not say a word
Yet the look you gave us said it all
In our hearts, your good-bye was heard

You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
And hope you know we tried it all
To keep you safe from pain

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here
But each knew thought you send our way
Let�s us know you�re always near

So until our journey nears it�s end
And we hear the angels sing
We�ll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring

I am thinking of you and your family Tracie. We have lost two little boys in our community this last week and their loss has made me think again of all the mothers and fathers that I know of that have lost their sweet babies. Sympathy card must be the dumbest things ever written-they say stupid, empy things that never convey the way the people sending them feel. There is nothing ever deep or sweet enough to say to tell you how much we love you and how sorry we are. With all our love, Anne, Jeff, Hannah and Andrew

Tracie... I could read yesterday's journal entry a thousand times and still get chills while my heart races and the tears swell up in my eyes. I remember that feeling... walking around the PICU in a zombie state... making the decision to 'pull the plug'... holding Reese while he took his very last breath on earth...

I also know the feeling of great loss even when you're still 'blessed' with those you still have... The emptiness of that missing child seems to overwhelm us and it's hard to see the bright side of anything.

I just wanted to say "I know" and that I love ya! I check on you guys almost everyday looking for good news about Cam and see how you're doing.

Any chance you guys might be in NC end of October during the 2nd annual Run for Reese? hope so!!

Tracie and Doug,
I'm very sorry. I inadvertantly typed "Hurlers" below (twice yet!). I know the boys had/have Sanfilippo. I just got caught up in the moment. Any one of these MPS diseases is a nightmare and I live for the day they can be prevented. Anyway, just wanted to clarify that and apologize. Your day was hard enough yesterday without having to think someone can't even get Douglas's story straight. May God be with you with each and every step this week and always.

Dear Tracie, Doug, and Cam,
Your words were so well said and give such a loving tribute to the son who will forever be the missing part of your hearts. How we all had hoped his story was one of triumph in the nightmare world of Hurlers, and yet Douglas did triumph over Hurlers. I can't imagine the hole that you live with. I can only pray that as the years unfold the emptiness is more tolerable than the year before, though it will never go away. Thank heaven Cam is warming your days and keeping you afloat. Wishing my blessings for you all on this day of rememberance of a very special angel.

Independence Day is this weekend, and I can't help but wish for your independence from all your stresses and extra duties. I hope this finds you with Cam's latest "new" needs in check, and that you are all free to fully enjoy the fireworks and festivities that this time of year brings with it. How much fun it would be for all of us around the country who have fallen in love with Cam, to see his face light up with joy at the sight and sounds of the season.

I was just thinking yesterday how things have been going so well I am almost afraid to hope that we are on the downhill side of transplant, it really puts things back into prespective to hear how things can still go wrong this late in the game.

Heck, hearing loss is not a big deal, me and Cam can tune out anyone at anytime we want - (ha-ha)! We are all praying that the doctors can get his immune system back on track.

Dear Tracie, I am so sorry about Cameron's low WBC. I know you must be worried but I bet it will pick up by next week and was just the meds. Could it have been a lab error? It wouldn't be the first time right?! You let us all know as soon as you hear. I hope with his new tubes in, that his ears with stay healthy. Hearing aids aren't so bad. Andrew's insides are red. A little girl asked me at the playground the other day, why he had playdough in his ears? Isn't that cute? When little kids ask what they are for I just say "Well he doesn't hear as well as you do and those help him to." That seems to be all they need to hear. I will pray that things calm down once more and he can get back to making progress by leaps and bounds. Love, Anne

Hello Tracie, Doug and Little Cam,
For some reason I haven't been able to sign your guestbook for weeks- is that me or Caringbridge?! Wierd, but I have been checking on you all regularly. Your latest post has me nervous....I'm sure after all the antibiotics and such get out of Cams' system, the counts will rebound. The whole port drama/pulling out his baby teeth......c'mon!!! Give this baby a break. I hope the rest of your summer is full of happy, sunshiney days, & and lots of giggles!!!! :) Still saying prayers for all of you & thinking of you regularly! :)

Dear Doug and Tracie,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as they always are, but especially now around the time of Douglas' birthday. We shed many tears for you and your pain of missing him. Douglas is in heaven, happy and healthy and dancing. You will always have tears for Douglas, because you will always miss him. But the tears will be less with time and healing. We pray that you will have peace in your hearts and faith and strength to move forward with each other and Cameron.
With lots of love and prayers, Stephanie and David

Dear Doug, Tracie and Cameron,

I never really know what to write to you. I know my words can't change things. I hope it helps to know that you and Douglas have touched many lives.

I have Douglas' picture next to my computer, which I use every day. My children used to ask who he was. I told him that he was a very brave little boy who is now in Heaven with Jesus. I also told them how he has helped many other children with his illness and has helped their families.
Now when my children look at his picture they say, "Mommy, there's that brave little boy who's with Jesus!"

May you find hope and joy in your present and future.

You know, when I read your entries - or the entries of anyone who's lost a child - I think about how crappy things can be. On one hand, it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one that has these feelings of pain and hurt... but on the other, I'm PISSED because someone I love has to hurt as much as I do... The dates of ^^DOUGLAS^^ & ^^REESE^^ birthdays will never be a day to 'celebrate'.. Mother's Day and Father's Day will always serve as another reminder of a child that was taken away from us... Christmas is a time of sorrow when you think about the presents you can't buy that child.. or the thought of his brother being alone without someone to play with or fight with. Shoot, even Valentine's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day... anyday that brings a family closer can bring such pain... Yes, I think about Reese everyday and how happy he is right now.. Like you said.. is he two now? will he continue to have birthdays in heaven? or will he still be the same 13-month old toddler that died in my arms? can God put a stop on that until I get there, so I can watch him grow up? I'm sorry.. didn't mean to get on a tangent.. some days are just harder than others.. I feel your pain, Tracie and Doug, and wish to GOD that no one would ever have to experience it.. but we do.. and it's not fair! I hope one day you can visit the grave of ^^DOUGLAS^^ and find some type of peace there. I'll never forget the day I went to visit ^^REESE^^ and asked for a sign that he was with me.. As I stood there crying over his grave, a ladybug landed right on his flowers.. and I knew it was him.. and it gave me peace. It's obvious I still harbor harsh feelings and pain, but for that moment, I was at peace... My son is better now and I have to remember that... I love you guys and hope to see you in October... God bless!

What a bittersweet day you must have had...as far as counting birthdays in Heaven, I think that there is no better way to homor Douglas's life than to remember his day here on Earth.

Thank you for the new pictures too. It is so wonderful to see a picture of Douglas again, and to see how healthy Cam is looking and acting.

That is so wonderful. And not being able to go to Chuck-e-Cheese and Micky D's is a blessing in itself! We will continue to pray for Cam's progress, and for your strength and happiness.

Completely off steriods - what a milestone. That's great news! I always read your posts but I don't always sign. I meant to sign a few weeks back but you know how it goes. I do connect with what you are feeling though, like when you wrote a few weeks ago that you felt like you were counting down the days until you could be with your angel again. Sometimes I feel like I am doing that too but I guess that is what keeps me going - faith that we will be reunited with our angels again. And as you also wrote, knowing they are happy and healthy brings comfort on a daily basis. Like you, I am trying to stay positive too. Please know that you are not alone and we are thinking of you all and angel Douglas dancing is heaven. God Bless.

Cam is the man. I am glad he is doing so well.

Dear Tracie, Doug, Cameron,
Anabelle, Jennifer(Annabelle's mother), christine (Annabelle's grandmother) says hi! We have never met but I look forward to meeting you when you go back to Duke. Annabelle is about to undergo a cordblood transplant at Duke for Sanfilippo type A. She is 27 months old and is doing very well. She had her workup last week but the transplant has been put off for one week because we bith have colds. I started working to get Annabelle back to Duke in April 03. Medicaide just approved her transplant and we fundraised for her sense 10/9/03 to get the money for transplant. It all came together with lots of hard work. Annabelle will bagan transplant 4/11/ or 4/12/04.
I am happy but scared to death. You can follow Annabelle at www.caringbridge.org/id/annabellegreen or www.saveannabelle.org Fill free to E-Mail or call

Tracie,

Just checking in on you. I hope Cam isn't too grossed out by taking the iron supplements. They smell awful so I imagine their taste isn't the best. Watch out for the staining.

Thanks for posting that article. We donated our cord blood for two of our three children. Our great hope is that it will help someone. It's such an easy thing to do. Let's hope more people get involved.

As always, I'm amazed at your strength and the beauty and honesty in your words.

Always thinking of you!

Tracie,

You ROCK, woman! You ARE doing great.

Cam, I've heard that iron supplements can lead to constipation... so just warn your mama that may be the next hurdle, hopefully it will go easy. Also, decreased iron leads to decreased appetite, so watch out for "the munchies" when his iron picks up.

Hugs!

Dear Tracie,
I am glad Cameron is doing better and they they found out he needed iron. Hannah used to take that stuff and vomit all over her clothes and toys. Whatch out, it stains. I am glad your faith is strong and I hope it will do you some good. Your faith is not just for God but for you also. Our sweet little old lady neighbor was taken home to heaven Sun night. I talked to a friend of hers today and found out that her husband has been gone (to heaven) over 20 years and that he had been a wonderful man and that even after all these years, she still loved and missed him. I really thought that that was romantic but it wouln't have made me happy if I thought she was sitting up there in her house alone, missing him and miserable for 20 years. I am rambling. I guess I am just hoping to come across something to help you. My fried says "God can't use you sitting on the stop sign." I always try to remember that. He doesn't want you to lead a miserable life. He loves you and wants you to be happy until it is time to come on home. Love, Anne

There are folks out there that can help. You do not need to suffer alone. I know this hospital trip has really sent you for a ride but please don't end up waiting out this life for the next one. Cameron is going to do great and you deseve a happy life! We love you so much. Please take care of yourself. Love, Anne

Oh, Dear Tracie...
Your update brought me to tears. I am SO relieved all is well with Cameron, but so very saddened by what you and Doug have gone through and continue to go through. To have already lost your precious Douglas and then to have to live with that "nagging fear" about Cameron's health.

I want you to know that I respect you and Doug so very much for being such amazing, strong, loving parents. I have a great deal of faith that Cameron will live a long, happy, healthy life. I wish happiness and peace to you all. Susie

Dearest Tracie,

I cannot compare my return trips to Children's Hospital Oakland to yours in Denver, but I can imagine how difficult it must have been. When we had to go back with Tommy, every step I took found my legs getting heavier and heavier. Every child with no hair and an IV stand made me shudder and my heart break at the same time. The only thing that allowed me to keep moving was knowing that Tommy was still there, that I was so lucky that things turned out "okay" for him.

I know his situation was nothing compared to your babies, but please know that we love you, and we are sending as many long-distance hugs as possible. Feel free to email or even call if you want to.

Lots of love,
Gretchen

Yahoo for the normal kid things he's doing like getting in the tub and turing on the water, going to the park and enjoying things around him! Also, hope he gets another med weaning on Wednesday --that would be great --and that the Dr. visit is GREAT!

Hey Cam --between you and me, I really like your toys and play area. I would like to come over and bowl with you because that set looks really neat!!! Just wait until the flowers start coming up! That will be such a neat experience. I have seen that so many times and it is still a thrill when the flowers start popping up! Talk to you soon!

Hi, just stopped by to check on Cam. I am pleased you are finding peace, your little Dougie's happiness was always what you wanted I believe and your happiness was his wishes too. Being your son accomplished both objectives and now he just gets to enjoy heaven longer than us. How unfair is that? Not! He deserves it. Douglas's happiness is now secure and yours is happening each day little Cam does another first, all by himself. God Bless your family!

I love what you wrote about Douglas especially the part about not longing to be here because they are happy & healthy in heaven, plus they still have us. Douglas and Jillian watch over us and hear us talk to them. It is comforting to know that. I am glad Cam is doing so well. I love the new pictures. He is getting so big. Take care & God bless.

I was just working on a presentation to the Idaho State Senate Health and Welfare Committee for Annabelle G., a two-year old in Boise with MPSIII. I was needing more information about the treatment in order to help Medicaid help Annabelle. One of your Boise friends called to say they had just heard about Annabelle and thought this website would help! I am thankful.

Yeah and hooray! for just a cold and for said cold being gone!I must admit, I envy you the snow right now. Even after living in CA for over a decade, it still just does not seem natural to just RAIN all winter. I am so glad that you have it, though. Looking out at the glittering scenery always made me feel happy, and you guys certainly deserve that right now!

By the way, I LOVED the pictures of "Uncle Mikey" getting Cam ready. Too sweet! It has been so long that any of us have seen each other I can hardly wait until that opportunity for us to introduce our families to each other comes.

God bless all you guys!

Dear Tracie,

I just found your site. I am so sorry for all of your tremendous pain. There is nothing in life so hard as watching a child suffer and die. I'm over 18 months out from our daughter's death and I still cannot believe this is allowed by God -- but I trust His sovereign will.

I know you are also still battling for Cameron's life now. This is so much for a family. You will be in my prayers.

Some questions are never answered in this life and obviously the death of a child probably provokes the most questions of any trial. We know that God loves his precious saints (these children who depart too soon) and that He did indeed do the right thing.

But still, so much pain for those of us left.

God bless,

Hey I noticed in the guest book that Douglas liked Elmo and it triggered a smile for me, as our little Cameron now has become a big Elmo fan too. His tumor returned in November and he is facing stem cell transplant in the coming weeks. I continue to pray for Cam Cam and the whole Nicol family. Your life has been overloaded with grief and my tears fall when I read your journal entries but I also rejoice when I read of Cam's successes.

Hey Trace, I can't even imagine the heartache of losing your first-born son, and I don't know how you're going to get through it either. But you've got such a fantastic family, a strong husband, wonderful close friends and all of us too, that somehow we're all going to see you through this. Keep on going, girl, there is a plan, and we're here to help.

What an honest entry. Your pain is so real and so powerful. But so is your love for Cam. I know it sounds so trite and maybe even inappropriate, but "everything happens for a reason." I can't explain why my son had cancer, or why my children have all had such difficult times, nor can I explain why Douglas and Cam were dealt such a difficult hand in life. In the end, all the answers will be there, but for now. . . words offer no consolation. May God grant you peace and serenity.

Tracie..

Everyday I check your journal.. and every day I want to sign the guestbook to let you know I care... But I can never come up with the magic words to make the pain go away.. I wish I could - for both of us - but I can't. So, instead, I sit at my computer with tears running down, sharing your pain, knowing too well your heartache, and standing at agreement with you - we will forever be heartbroken until that glorius day when we are reunited with our children in Heaven... Oh God, give us peace beyond all understanding... bring us joy and hope for a better tomorrow... Help us deal with the loss of our children. In these things I ask in Jesus' name.... Amen.

I love you, too Tracie Nicoll....

I'm sorry it has been a while aince I signed your guestbook. I think of you and Douglas and Cam all of the time. I think I told you once that Douglas reminded me of my daughter- they had very similar features (both georgeous!) I am sorry you are hurting- I know how you feel. This was our first holiday without Bella and it was horrible. But we made it through and hopefully this year will bring good things for all of us.
Try to take care and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all the time.

Hello Everybody!

My aunt and uncle live in Colorado Springs and they just mailed me the newspaper article that ran back there, but I haven't read it yet, I don't think I can right now but I love the picture of you and Cameron. John's aunt and uncle also live in Colorado Springs so once things settle down here in the next few weeks, we are thinking about flying out there to visit with everybody. We would love to stop by and see you all. I will let you know when we will be headed that way. Take care and give the little man a squeeze for me!

Hi Tracie.
I went to call you today after reading the Gazette's article on your boys, but only had your address. We have been following the path you're on and praying for your strength, endurance and for a miracle of health for Cameron. I wanted to know if you could use any videos/books for Cameron. I have a lot we've outgrown. Brett is doing well. He just wants so badly to be home. I assume you received our Christmas picture and letter, so I won't bore you with any more of what is happening here. But do know, you are an inspiration to me.

I am just someone who has been watching the progress of your boys via caring bridge. I know how difficult this time of year can be when you have lost someone you love. I found this to be of some comfort. Merry Christmas to your entire family. Cherish the memories you have of Douglas and create new and wonderful memories every moment you have with Cam. God Bless you.

My First Christmas in Heaven


See the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not far away. We really are not apart.
So be happy for me dear ones. You know I told you dear,
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all "love" is the gift more precious than pure gold,
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
For I can't count the blessings or love he has for you.
So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Dear Tracie, Doug and Cameron,
Gosh..I have followed your story since the beginning in the Gazette. I wish I knew what to say. I think of you so often and wish that I knew you personally..such compassion, such love, such strength, such beauty. I could just squeeze your little guy every minute of every day...he is SO precious. My heart has ached with the painful news and leapt for joy for hearing of the good. Happy Birthday, Cameron, you sweet, sweet baby. I am so proud of you and so proud of your wonderful mom and dad and brother Douglas.
I wish more than anything that there was something that I could do for you. I have a 3-year-old daughter and 14- month-old son and I tell them of Douglas and Cameron and their very special mommy and daddy.
Thank you for sharing those beautiful photos of Cameron. He is such an angel.
Please know you are in the hearts and thoughts of so many people. May God bless you now and always.

Happy Birthday Cameron!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our thoughts are with you this holiday season. I understand your feelings are bittersweet at this time. Don't rush yourself or let anyone tell you how you should be feeling right now. Anyone who has lost a dear family memeber knows that this is one of the worst seasons to get through. Your faith has carried you far and God isn't going to abandon you ever!!!!!!!!! The picture of Cameron's bubble bath is precious. May God continue to bless your family and keep you all safe.

Dear Doug, Tracie, and Cameron,
I could absolutely feel the joy of Cam's bubble bath from your description. I hope it is a fun new part of your routine every day now! Two years old!! What a wonderful thing to celebrate!! He looks so sweet in his pictures and I am thrilled to hear that he is beginning to trust everyone again. Kids can be very resilient as I am sure you have witnessed many times. I think of you guys so often and have been worried about Cam and flu season. My husband says it's pretty bad in the ER these days but it also seems to be tapering off some the last couple of weeks. I am sure you have to be so vigilant about Cameron's exposure. So Lily and Cameron will have to meet in the Spring when things are much safer for him!! I know the holidays will bring such a mixture of feelings with so many thoughts of little Douglas. He is there with you always, remember that. Lots of love to all of you and best wishes for a promising New Year!!

Hi Tracie, Doug and Cam,
Hope that port area is healing well. It takes awhile even though the visible bruising is probably fading. Have there been more memorable bubble baths? I bet it takes getting used to those too! Hope the germs stay away from your household and family. We've hear all about Colorado and the flu --in fact Isaiah has decided to continue wearing his mask just like before even though restrictions have been lifted in some areas. He says he needs to protect himself!!!
We hope that Cam is recovering nicely and progressing every day. We think of you often and check in on you too! Hugs from Michigan!

Nicholls,
Break my heart, EVERY THING is so bittersweet. I can picture Cam in the tub as the heartbreaking thoughts of Douglass come to you and take over. You force yourself to be happy in this moment and feel guilty when you do. I can never say I understand and I can only imagine and I pray for peace. It's okay to enjoy Cam, you know Douglass would want it that way.

It seems that the bubble bath was a wonderful experience for the whole family. You deserved it. We understand very well how careful you must be during the winter and how many precautions you must take. But you are strong and you know how to protect Cam.
We share exactly the same bad feelings during the holiday season and always. May God give us strength!

Just wanted to drop a line letting you all know you are always in my thoughts and prayers. With the holidays coming it must be close to unbearable. I feel for you. I wish I could share your burden. Luckily you both seem strong and passionate enough to realize what you can be thankful for. Keep that in your heart always. So glad to hear Cam is doing well, and seeing the pictures of him smiling melts my heart. It's a blessing.

Dear all,

We are so sorry to hear of another special child being taken by this horrible syndrome. We will add that family to our prayers.

Thought of you during Thanksgiving and what a difficult time it must be for you... so much to be thankful for yet so much to grieve.

We have no knowledge of the extent of your grief but can only assume that this next year will continue to be difficult as you have your first holidays without Douglas' physical presence. He was a special little boy who touched many lives and this world is definately a little darker without him here.

We continue to focus on the good news on Cameron and regularly check for updates on him and how your entire family is doing.

You are good and kind people who are deeply loved.

God bless you!

I was so excited that I checked in just minutes after the surgery is to start so I could send up prayers right then. I also checked out the pictures for the first time in awhile. I don't know if they are new or not but man is he cute!!! He has changed so much since I saw him last at Duke. He was walking then but still such a baby. Now he looks like a big boy. Way to go Cameron. Can't wait to hear that the surgery went great. Ports are such a blessing. Love, Anne

First of all, what an incredible smile in the picture of Cam by the fireplace! That is so heartwarming!
As Cam goes today for his surgery for his new port, we send prayers and thoughts your way. We hope this brings fewer of those pesky infections, and an easier way for you to give Cam all the meds he needs so often. And we of course send our prayers for Cam�s continued progress, and your continued strength.
All our love and prayers,

Isaiah has had 2 ports and we like them --never had an infection like we did the numerous lines. Also will be easier on you folks!! Just remember to have some great treats for Cameron when he gets accessed!!! We think of you often and send hugs from coooold Michigan.

Hi
Davis has had a port for over 2 years. He has to have chemo for 3 years to beat Leukemia. The port is a wonder. I watch the kids with lines and how limited they are. You'll be very happy with the results. Emla cream is great - put it on 1 hour before access. HE will be sore after the surgery for about a week but it'll heal fast.

Good luck. I hope it makes your life easier.

Hi Tracy,
I'm sorry that Cam's lines have to be taken out, but I think you (and he) will be much happier with the port. Julia had hers from 9-months to 18-months post transplant. The emla cream (numbing cream) is miraculous, he won't feel a thing. I was the only one who winced when it was accessed(I usually just turned my head).

Julia was also the same with the oral meds. Cam may pleasantly surprise you one day. One day, two of us were holding her, while we forced the oral meds, only to have her spit them back at us. Out of the blue, she started taking them with no issues, what a relief!!

We continue to think and pray for all of you. I'll give you a call soon. Hugs and kisses from Julia.

Love,
Bernadette

I am so sorry to hear that the line is still contaminated. But the port will be SUCH A NICE CHANGE OF PACE. Trust me, been there and I think you will like it. The numby cream really will make it a painless experience, but it will take Cameron some time getting used to having to access the port. But it will happen and he will LOVE to take a bath!!
You are always in our prayers.

Tracie and Doug,
Sorry to hear that Cameron has to have surgery again. I really think you will like the port though. Allison has had one since May and has had no problems with it. The Emla cream works really well! She doesn't even cry when we access her port! I think that is pretty good for a 2 yr old!
I will be thinking of your special little guy tommorrow as he has his surgery!
Love,

Dear Tracie, So sorry to hear that Cam has to have another surgery. Ironically, Grandma Cain is also going under the knife again---on Wednesday the 12th. We also are in pre-op mode with lots of visits to doctors and labs. Grandma is in good condition right now, which is why she is having her colostomy reversed at this time. However, she did just turn 85, and it will be a four-hour surgery (the docs are going to look her over from the inside while she is out). You pray for us and we will pray for you and all will be glad to have this week over.
Hugs and kisses to your house monkey! Love to you and Doug, Aunt Pat

Hi Tracie and Doug!
Thanks for the update on Cameron! We will be praying for a speedy procedure and recovery for him on Tuesday. I used to work for a surgeon that placed alot of ports and the patients really loved having them (considering they had to have something at all). I hope that your experience with one will be just as good. Let us know if we can do anything for you, otherwise know that we will keep praying. Take good care! Love Monica and Matt

Hi Tracie,

Sorry to hear about the port, but the bubble bath aspect sounds great! We'll be thinking of you on 11/11, which is a holiday don't forget (no, seriously, it's vetran's day), hope the surgery goes well. Just a thought on chickpeas - hummus! my kids actually love to dip crackers in it, hope Cam Cam loves it too. About the meds, are they liquid? you can buy the grape flavoring from Wise Pharmacy, it might help. As always, we've got room here in Littleton if you need it.

Keep Swimming! I mean Smiling, darn it, too much Nemo this weekend.

Dear Cam,
I am so sorry to hear about the infection in your central line. But about the oral meds I can comfort you. It is yucky of course, but you will get used to it. I am already a pro in taking oral meds, although I was fighting them in the beginning!
Take care, a lot of kisses to you and a BIG HUG to your mom and dad.

Tracie,
You just never fail to amaze me. How you have managed to keep a sense of humor through all of this is beyond me, but I cracked up when I read tonight's entry. I'm not sure what ASS is supposed to taste like, but it painted a funny picture. I don't know if this is possible for his meds or not, but there is a pharmacy here that can take liquid children's medicines and will flavor them. Maybe you could find something like that to improve on the ass factor. I will be thinking of you all on Thursday (like I don't on other days) and saying some extra prayers for a smooth operation.

Hi there!!!
Ohhhhhhh boy, all that activity made me tired just reading about it! Tupperware, toys, 13 stairs and even climbing fireplace ledges!!! Fantastic! Love the photo on the fireplace. We have a similar ledge and it's called "dangerous"!! I hope that line comes out soon. I think of you guys so often with happiness and sadness at the same time. Sending many hugs from the cold state. It didn't reach 40 degrees here today -at least the sun was bright.

I am glad to read the progress of your sweet Cameron. Climbing stairs is a great big deal, when he has gone through so much. Our little Cameron is attempting to climb them too but now he wants to do it standing up. This is rather scary, since he still does not walk again yet. His balance is not where it needs to be yet but we are hoping it comes around soon. Good Good make a lot of messes Cameron, keep learning and laughing.

He hated his Hickman line and was NOT sorry to see it go. I hope you guys are having a good week. What's Cam going to be for Halloween? Have fun! Hugs,

It will all work out, you have every right to feel frustrated by all the things that have gone so horribly wrong. You have been through SO much, it's way past time for things to start going right!! Will keep you all in my prayers. Take care, and I loved your description of the bacteria. Ugh, one of those things we know is there but we'd really rather not think about, isn't it? Yuck....

Tracie & Doug,
Keep making those "mental" plans... our dreams and our secret plans are ours to keep. They are what helps to keep our spirits and energy up when things pour down on us. They are our comfort zone. Keep on planning and fighting!! I pray that Cam's lines clear and he continues to to be weaned from his meds! Sending our love!!!

Dear Tracie & Doug,
Sorry to hear about Cam's lines, but from what I read maybe a port would be better. I don't know enough about that though, but I'm sure the Dr. will do what's best for Cam. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers daily. Please keep us updated in your journal.
Love to all of you,

I didn't want Dr. K to take out Andrew's lines before we left Duke either. I just didn't like the idea of the port (more permanent I think) and I liked knowing how to use the lines. I must have been crazy!!! Andrew has gotten so active and crazy, I can't imagine what would have happen to those lines. Baths are so much easier, dressing etc. Andrew has had his port for almost 2 years now with no problem and no needles. I am trying to hang on to it for as long as possible now. Hope all clears up and the one eyed crabs go away. Love, Anne

Tracie, we (mothers) all have secret mental plans for our children. We want the best for them; health, wealth, and perfect lives. We are taught to live with the ups and downs; the joys and disappointments. Your mother sure didn't want the life for you that you are living, but she has to accept it. Taking care of each other is what it's all about. God wanted families to learn to share, and learn to care. You, Doug, Mama Jane, Papa Tom, and all of your families have taught this lesson to thousands of people. Love you guys, and pray daily for Cameron and his family.
Love Always,
Aunt Peg

Hope you can feel all of the prayers coming your way! I read your update to my son, Joshua, who is 8 yrs old (the part about Cam needing to get a port) and he asked me to tell you this. . ."the port is kindda cool 'cause you can still take a bath and go swimming with it. I liked the port 'cause I didn't need to get my blood with the long needle in my arm, I do NOT like that. I'm all done with my meds now and when I fell out of the tree it broke so I had it out by surgery. I hope your little boy likes his port." Granted the odds of Cam falling out of a tree and breaking his port are minimal, but Joshua felt obligated to get that info in there somehow just so you would know. LOL I had a hard time relinquishing his hickman after treatment, but then it cracked and there was no way to save it. Maybe, just maybe, this is a small sign that things ARE getting better and that a Port will be all he needs for a bit longer.
Prayers are definately coming your way.

Savannah had a dual mediport when she was doing her time, if you have any questions please email or call(# is on her site). We also did the Vanco. thing, bad experiance as we found out she had a allergy to it! Anyway, if you need to talk to someone who has been down the "kid with cancer" road feel free to contact us. There are enough of us on Caringbridge, sad but true!

"The middle of the night"! What's wrong with those people? They think because they work nights the whole world is up. They have to be a little bit crazy. I should know, since I worked nights for 27 years. We're all a little bit off! At least you get to communicate with the normal people during the day. (the ones that sleep at night)I pray your instincts are right, and Cameron's lines are fine. You, Doug, and cameron are in my daily prayers.

Hi Tracie - I sure know what you mean about the saga continuing. I'm hoping that the news is GREAT tomorrow and that Cam is infection free. We think about you guys all the time. Alex wanted to visit Colorado but Dr. K told him no altitudes over 5,000 feet. I joked with my uncle that we needed to lower CO to sea level :-) We somehow mananged to get some free airline tickets at the clinic and if Alex's platelets are up for a change we will be heading to Florida.

You need to have a talk with those people at Children's. (Somebody needs to learn to tell time.) You're in my thoughts and prayers. May God hold you all in the palm of His hand. Love and Angel Hugs.

Tracie,
It sure is good to hear a little fight and even a little humor come back to your voice! That's the spirit! I know this new development could be more bad news, but you sound like you have had a little adrenaline rush and will be able to tackle it head first like everything else thrown your way. Not one of those doctors (or nurses calling in the middle of the night) knows what is like to be in your shoes, so you just keep on letting them know it. A little reality check never hurt any of them. Take care!

I am tempeted to find out who decided to call you in the middle of the night just to tell you not to come in until the morning. Of all things you need right now, a good night's sleep is certainly one of them...Oh well. I guess God will have His own justice for that as well. :) Anyhow, I hope you are in fair condition. Hopefully we will be able to get out there and visit before too many years go by...

Lots of Love,

This is a good sign to see a common cold, just a common

Traci and Doug, I look at you two and Thank God that someday when things are tough, I will have the same strengh inside of me. You both give me a lot of courge and love when I look at you together with Cam.
Traci I really look up to you as a woman with great strenth , if you were older than me I would want to grow up to be just like you. Since I am older I can at least learn from you and be patient,loving, kind and know I do everything for my loved ones. Doug you are a great and loving father and husband and it shows, through the eyes of your wife and children. God knew what he was doing when he made you two.

Dear Doug and Tracie,
Please keep fighting, keep the spirit up! Meeting you in January definitely helped us decide to go for Harmen�s treatment. Whatever the outcome, we know our decision has been just as right as yours was. Harmen is on vanco too, right now. We know Cam is a fighter, put up the fight with him! We love you guys

I'm sorry about the latest news. I know it has to be incredibly difficult. I'm surprised you're still able to face each day with all you've had to endure. I know what line infections are like because I've had plenty myself. I will definitely be praying that the lines don't have to be pulled. Blessings and know that you remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Please know that my prayers are with you and your family. I am a teacher assistant with special needs students and a student at our school, Lindsey has Sanfillipo Syndrome. I was amazed at how similar Douglas and Lindsey look. Please check her website - www.lindseysMPSjourney.org. Lindsey is a beautiful child and it has been disheartening to see her regression over the last year. As hard as it is for me, I cannot even imagine how her mom and dad feel. I will continue to pray for you guys as you continue this journey with MPS.

I am extremelly sorry for all you have passed and is still going through. It seems a never ending story but I am sure this time it will have a very happy ending - try to do something for yourself - meditate, concentrate on good things, visualize beautiful colors, especially green (health) involving your baby boy - try to connect more with nature, grass, flowers, trees, sunset, etc.... you need to relax in order to keep your own health and your sanity to keep the treatment.

Tracie and Doug,
Thank you for the update on Cameron. His progress is so heartwarming and encouraging. It is also amazing to us how much he, and you, go through every day. We think of you, and pray for you daily. Stay strong. I don't ask Doug a lot, as I am sure he is often tired of talking and just wants to settle in and try to have things get back to as close to normal as possible. And we can understand why the phone calls to you, and return calls, can be overwhelming. So we will continue to contact you through prayer and thought, and hope this brings you some comfort and added strength.
And please thank Audra, your family and the others that can be physically close to all of you now, and offer the hugs and kisses that all of us wish we could give you.
All our love and prayers,

Tracie,
I know how sad you are over Douglas but I'm thrilled that you and Doug updated on Cameron. I can't imagine how difficult it is to still focus on a sick child when you've just lost one. Life does go on doesn't it, no breaks to grieve nor take a breath. God bless your little family. I think of you often.

I stopped by to send a prayer and positive wishes that you and your family will progress. I hear your heartbreaks and would intervene if I only had the power. Since I do not I can speak on your behalf to the ONE who does. So many unanswered questions, and the biggest one is WHY? I have never ever heard any one answer that question. Never. I have faith, I am lacking understanding, I suppose I need to pray for that when I am speaking to My Lord. Sending a HUGE cyber hug to little ((((((((((Cameron))))))))))) and his whole family.

Hi Doug,Tracie, and Cameron~
Just wishing you a happy day today. I hope you all are having a good week. Tracie, I had to tell you this story. I was flying home from Dallas last night around 7 pm, and as I was looking out the window there was the most beautiful rainbow and sunshine I have ever seen. I looked off in the distance and all I could think of was little Douglas. Everything was just so beautiful and peaceful looking up there. I felt like I was in heaven, enjoying the beautiful scenery. I know that stories like these do not help your pain, but just know that you are always in my mind and heart.Give Cam a kiss. We love you~

TRACIE

I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR LITTLE BOYS DAILY. I HAVE NOT CALLED, EMAILED, OR WROTE IN YOUR GUEST BOOK ENTRY BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I FEEL SO HELPLESS WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY CHILDREN THAT I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE. LAST MONTH WE TOO HAD A PICU EXPERIENCE HERE AT RAINBOW BABIES. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS MY LITTLE GIRL IS GOING TO DIE. AS THEY HOOKED HER UP TO THE VENTALATOR I WAS THINKING HOW UNFAIR THIS IS. THESE CHILDREN ARE SO STRONG. THEY HAVE GONE THRU HELL AND DO NOT DESERVE THIS. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO HAVE TO MAKE CHOICES THAT YOU HAD TO MAKE. WE WERE SO VERY LUCKY THAT JILLIAN PULLED THRU AND IS SO MUCH BETTER NOW. I DO THINK OF YOU EVERY DAY AND WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. I THINK I WOULD JUST LOCK MYSELF UP IN A ROOM AND CRY FOR EVER. I KNOW YOU HAVE MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE THERE FOR YOU. IF YOU NEED ANYONE TO TALK TO PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO PHONE ME. MY PHONE NUMBER IS ON JILLIANS WEBSITE. I HOPE THAT CAM IS DOING WELL. I AM A BETTER PERSON FOR MEETING AND KNOWING YOUR FAMILY. WHAT A SUPPORT SYSTEM YOU HAVE.

I wish I had a magic powder that could take away the horrible pain that all parents feel when they lose a child -Somehow you have that strenght inside yourself but you will need some extra help: family, friends, the faith you have in GOD, and maybe some extra help like a therapyst, or shiatsu - a massage for emotional balance, or some especific medicine for depression ... you deserve all the support in the world right now - please don�t hesitate to ask ... don�t feel alone and don�t stay around people who are not positive because this is not good for you.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and their shall be no more death, neither sorrow or crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
For the former things are passed away
Rev. 21:4

Dear Tracie, Doug, Cam, Grandma Jane and the entire Nicoll family,
I have been meaning to write for sometime now. I wanted to write a card, but I have decided that I would like to share with everyone what I have to say.

Douglas, a cherished child, my primary patient, my dearest inspiration, has changed my life forever.
The first day I met Douglas, I saw his blond locks, gracious spirit, and endearing smile and thought he was �precious�, little did I know how truly precious he was. It took a while, but a trust was built between us. I remember late night Bob the Builder and Blues Clues (We just got a letter, we just got a letter, I sing it to this day) movies. I remember Douglas�s mischievous smile as he jumped up and down on the hospital bed, careless and happy. I remember him blowing me kisses as I left the room. I remember the strength of his spirit when his body was so weak. I remember how much he loved his family.
I remember Douglas everyday, I think of how his body is finally whole and strong like his spirit. I think of him jumping on the beds of heaven. His courage, determination, strength and powerful character are inspirational. These admirable qualities that Douglas demonstrated, I also saw daily in his brother (as he also crusades against Sanfillipo), his mother, Tracie, his father, Doug, his Grandma Jane, Aunt Megan, and the many other influential family members that I unfortunately never got to meet. My life will forever be changed by Douglas and every one of you. I remember Douglas and you all, not as a patient and his family, but as friends whose love, devotion and faith inspires me daily.
I felt it a privilege to, if only briefly, be a part of all of your lives. I miss you guys.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
God Bless, Karin Berg (5200 RN)


�.This is a poem I found to be encouraging

�These are my wishes for You�

May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.

May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding will always be there,
even when you feel most alone.

May a kind word,
a reassuring touch,
and a warm smile
be yours every day of your life,
and may you give these gifts
as well as receive them.

May the teachings of those you admire
become part of you,
so that you may call upon them.

Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours
are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter
that is more important than its form.

May you not become too concerned with material matters,
but instead place immeasurable value
on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see beauty and love
in the world around you.

Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard
you may be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.

May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent
on another's judgment of your accomplishments.

May you always feel loved.

I cannot even begin to imagine how or what you are feeling. I think that God gives these "special" kids to only the most special moms and dads. He knows these children will only be here for a short period and he wants to make sure they are loved and appreciated as much as possible. From reading your page, I think Douglas was definitely loved and cherished. Please know that I am thinking of you all daily and praying you will receive peace. So thankful for the good news about Cam. May you continue to heal. You will never forget, but may time heal. Sending hugs and prayers.

Tracie...all I can say to all of those questions you asked is "I have absolutely NO IDEA" I'm so sorry that you are having to endure this and I'm sure the times are bittersweet in many ways--having one child and not the other. Knowing that one got to live on this earth and the other did not. Being glad that Douglas is out of pain and sad because he had to die to be free from it...And I'm sure that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all that you must be going through. Please know that you are still very much in my thoughts and prayers and you will definitely continue to remain there along with Cam and the rest of your family. I love you guys. HUGS!

Doug and Tracie,
I think of you everyday and hope that you are healing. I drive by the house, wanting to stop, but I never know if you are up for a visitor or not. Just know that I am always thinking and praying for your family. Nothing can replace what you have lost, but time will help and the healing will begin. I wish I could take all the pain away for you, if only. You two are so strong and have endured so much...I'm right down the street if you need anything at all.

Dear Tracie,
I'm sorry it has taken me time to write, but I am at a loss for words. I just want to hug and hold you and take all this pain away. When Aunt Barbie and then Grandma and then Aunt Mary Beth died I thought I couldn't go on, but I did because that's what they would have wanted and I needed to take of my family. They needed me, as Doug and Cameron need you so much right now! Douglas is OK now and he knows you need to take care of his little brother and his Dad. God is the one who takes care of us and He is taking care of you right now, but you can't see that yet, as I didn't back then either. Somehow, someway we get through this, but we never forget the loved ones we have lost each and every day. I pray for you & Doug everyday that peace will come to you soon. Take good care of little Cam and I'm so happy to hear how much better he is doing.
Love, Aunt Patty

Gosh, Tracie, I can't even imagine...it must be so hard. I feel so bad for you and Shawn, Christy, and every single other parent that lost their little ones these past few years. I am thrilled that Cameron continues to do well, but I wish Douglas was there too. Keep asking the Lord for acceptance in all this. It's the one thing that'll bring you some peace. I'll keep praying for you and Doug and of course for little Cam. God Bless.

I can only say that I wish you peace in knowing you did everything you could do for Douglas and that his spirit will live on through his brother Cameron. Our very best to you and all of your family.

I sit in front of my computer and don't even know what to write. I have cried tears of sorrow for you and tears of joy. I have not ever even met you Tracie. I met Doug on several occasions as Jeff Phillips is my boyfriend. He has kept me updated on your story since the boys were first diagnosed. This spring he told me about your web page and I have been reading your journal ever since. I know that in reality we are strangers, but in spirit I have been with you and your family many times. All I can really say is that I pray for you each day and hope that somehow peace will come in to your lives. I know that we are not supposed to question God, but how can you not at times like this. Your faith will overcome the questions at some point and your heart, although forever changed, will be free. I will continue to ask God to grant you and your family peace. Thank God for his continued blessings on Cam. With sincere thoughts, Deidra

I so love you, Wom! I do believe, with all my heart, soul and being, you will breathe again one day. My prayer is for it to be soon. I'm so glad you are still journaling; it is an amazing form of therapy and a record of your progress. You are rising to the occasion so beautifully, though you don't feel like it. We all see it. To wake up and put one foot in front of another is a huge accomplishment on some days, I'm sure. You're beautiful, inside and out. My prayer is for you to see the sunshine through the clouds each morning when you rise. To breathe a deep breath and ask our sweet Jesus to carry you if your wings just don't want to fly that day...He is there for you. He wants to carry you. He loves you beyond imagination.

You're a champion. I love you.

I just read your latest entry and it touched me so much I had to write. I was not fortunate enough to have children so I can't possibly begin to understand your pain. However, today is the 19th anniversary of my dad passing away after a battle with cancer so I do understand what it is like to lose someone who your world is centered around. I know it's a cliche, but time will make it easier to breathe and to visit memories of better times. Give yourself time to heal-nobody expects it to happen overnight so don't feel like you "need" to be a certain way. Everyone handles grief their own way and shouldn't feel badly for it. Losing a child has to be the worst experience in the world so just try to deal with each day the best you can.
I pray that you and Cam do well and that it helps to know you aren't alone.

Tracie,
You have every right to feel the way that you do. No one really knows how you feel. Only a mother who has lost a child would know how you feel. Little Doug will always be with you and he knows how much you love him. The hurt never goes away. In time, your pain and sorrow will lessen, but your memories of love will remain forever strong. In my prayers, I reach to you and your family with hugs. I keep praying for Cam and that he continues to become stronger.

Tracie,

Hi my name is Malissia. I have visited your caringbridge site many times, but... I don't know if I have ever signed the guestbook. I just did not know what to say. Yesterday I stopped in to check, and I read your journal entry. I just cried for you. I have prayed for you and your family so many times, and you are always in my thoughts along with so many others. My daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 4 months old. She is now 18 months and she is doing well. I wonder why some do well and others do not. I am sure when I get to heaven I am going to have so many questions to ask God. My first will be why innocent children have to suffer. Why do we have so many diseases, and how are we as parents supposed to put on a smile when we are dying inside of worry? My heart is so sad for you. I am really at a loss for words. I remember when Abby was doing well in the hospital, and I knew so many others who were not I asked a nurse how I was supposed to feel. I had a child with cancer, throwing up from chemo, just a little baby and in spite of it all she was the healthiest child on the hall. I wondered several times if we would lose her. Thankfully she is still here. But, I know so many others who prayed just as hard for their children and there's didn't make it. Why are some spared and other not. I don't know. I also don't know if I have said anything of comfort to you, but... I just want you to know that I care. I am so sorry. I can't imagine what your life has been like. I just pray that you will be comforted. May God bless all of you.

Tracie,
I just read what Shawn Coble wrote (I followed baby Reese as well) and I just want both of you to know that because of you, so many of us parents out here are better parents, because of you. I kiss my kids more, I tell them I love them more and I REALLY REALLY listen to them, I thought I was loving before, but now I make 100% more effort, and I know its because of what I have learned from you very courageous parents! I can never imagine how you feel, never, but I wonder if it helps in any way for you to know that you have had a HUGE impact on many of us, making us better people. I think of you and pray for you and Cameron daily.

Tracie.. if you were to look in Reese's journal, around March and April and May - even today - you can read some of the same words there as in your journal... Too often I think of that day I was on the elevator at the hospital, on my way outside to get some fresh air... I saw another lady that I'd seen in PICU.. I asked how her little one was doing and she said "I hope we get to go home today...." kindof in a 'I'm so tired of this place' kind of way. I looked at her and said, "My baby's going home today - he's going to heaven"... then I stepped off the elevator...when what I really wanted to do was shake her and punch her in the face... WHY do you get to take your baby home with YOU???? Why does my baby have to die today??? Not long after that, Reese was laid in my arms to take his last breath while I had to tell his big brother that Reese was getting his wings today.... As they laid Reese in my arms, surrounded by so many that loved him, we all prayed 'BREATHE, REESE, BREATHE!!!!!' But he didn't.. He didn't even open his eyes to see me one last time. He died in my arms while I cried out to God... WHY WHY WHY!!!! I let others hold him when I wanted to keep him all for myself. Finally, I had to lie him down one last time and leave that room, knowing I'd NEVER get to hold him, kiss him, smell him, touch him, feed him, bathe him, or hug him ever again on this earth... How did I do that? How did I just walk away? Why didn't I hold him a little longer? Tracie, our lives will NEVER, EVER be the same again.. we'll look at children differently... we'll look at other mothers differently... we'll wonder, what makes THEM so special??? We'll always be different... we'll always want every mother, father, brother, and sister to know about our angels in Heaven... We'll never look at another baby the same... I see one and I just want to grab it up and hug and squeeze it... They all remind me of Reese in some way.. Maybe they have brown eyes or they hair is dark... Reese is with me always and Douglas will be with you always... We're special women and very few mothers will know what treasures they hold when they wake up in the mornings and pick up their children out of the crib and fix their bottle, change their diapers, and read them a book... I hope that someone reading this today, and your jouranl entry, will take an extra minute or two to make sure they realize how lucky they are...

Your phone number is programmed in my phone.. many times I've wanted to call but I don't know how much help I'd be, I'd just be some blubbering idiot on the other line... Please know that you're constantly in my thoughts and continously in my prayers.. We'll always have a special bond.... I miss you...

Dearest friend, I just caught up on your journals. Your eloguence matches your courage. Your pain is unimaginable, your strength to continue to put one foot in front of the other is amazing. Tracie as I sat with you in your home last night all I could think of was how miraculous you are. Cam is doing well, you treat him like a normal baby boy, with love and kisses and tickles and rides upside down! You have created a home, not a sterile house, but a home filled with all of the things to heal Cam yet with all of the things that make it a sanctuary for you and your family to dwell in. My continued prayer for you is for healing of your heart. Dougie will never 'go away', you will never forget, he was too special and the two of you had a special bond. But I hope he can now comfort you, remind you of how free he is and he will always love his mommy and is waiting to tell her of how wonderful he feels now. WE love you all and pray for you all.

Dear Nicoll's,
As a mother I cannot imagine the pain you are experiencing, and by the grace of God will never have to. God is a loving and just God, He does no evil. He is saddened by your loss. This of course does not eleviate your pain nor does He mean it to. It is by His grace that you will eventually be healed of your pain. He understands your anger. Please know that I am lifting you up in prayer everyday, praying for strength and comfort. Thank you for journaling and letting all of us feel your emotion. Hopefully we are an outlet for you and part of your healing process. You are amazing people and parents that have handled everything with grace and unconditional love. I am humbled by your incredible strength and faith. May God comfort and protect you! Cam I pray for continued healing and wellness to you.

Tracie,
Having the courage to journal is having the the courage to grieve... sadly it takes very slow painful steps to reach acceptance. And in your own time, you will recover... your journey is one moment, one breath, one memory at a time... May your precious memories fill your heart with Dougie's spirit and relieve you of some of your pain. Praying for all of you and Cameron daily.

I can't begin to imagine the pain and heartache you must feel- I've kept up with you and your precious sons since meeting you- Cam and Douglas were transplanted right before my son Carson- I remember walking past your childrens rooms thinking how could a mother bear to watch two children go through this- the answer to that is you are a very special mother who loves your children with all your heart- your journals show that- please know I have prayed for you and your sons from day one and will continue to keep you and Cam in my prayers- as you say Douglas is better off with his healthy body in heaven but nothing will be able to fill that void you have without him- God bless you-

Doug and Tracie: You've walked a path that many of us haven't and by the grace of God never will. You share your pain with us so freely and with such vulnerability and clarity. Thank you for being so open. I am so sorry for what you've been through, what you are going through and for those months and years ahead that your heart will ache for your first-born son. I pray for strength and grace for Doug and you, and healing and strength for Cam. Your letters help me to know how to pray for you. Thank you for allowing us to share this with you. I hope you can feel how much your friends, family, and all the others that you never met, would like to help you carry this pain.

Tracie,
Sometimes people say things that stick with us all our lives. When I was 20 years old, my cousin was killed in a car wreck. I asked myself the same questions you asked us today; Why did God let that happen? Why does He let such terrible things happen to good people? As if he heard my questions, the preacher who eulogized my cousin asked us the very same thing and gave us his answers. He said that God is not responsible for the terrible things that exist on earth, Satan is. He told us that God's heart was breaking just like ours were. And, he reminded us that, by living as good Christians, we could help fight against this evil that invades our world. I know these words can't help take away your pain. But, if they have the same effect on you that they had on me, maybe they can help you feel some relief that God is just as sad about Douglas's disease and death as you are. I hope this helps you find some peace and comfort.

At any rate, I just wanted you to know that I think about you guys all the time... I hope your heart starts feeling better soon... As a grieving mother myself, I know the pain never goes away, it just gets more tolerable... I'm so proud of CAM CAM!!! NO Sanfilippo!!! That's a miracle...

I only know Douglas from your website, but my favorite "memory" is the photo you posted of him digging into the bottom of the ice cream carton and Cameron standing by hoping for a bite. It was so cute. I was thumbing thru a magazine the other day and there was a little cherub angel statue, looking at a book, that had the same expression as Douglas did with the ice cream. It is good to hear the good news of Cameron and I will keep you all in my prayers.

Doug, Tracie and Little Cameron, I am so happy to hear the good news about Cameron. How exciting!!! The pictures are heart-warming -- what a precious little boy he is -- and the cutiest little expirement I have ever seen. I pray for all of you every day --sometimes several times a day that God will heal your broken hearts. I know your faith, family and friends have kept you strong -- and then there are people like me who just know Doug through business and we have become so attached to all of you and feel as if we are part of an extended family. Tracie, someday I hope to meet you and Cameron and see the results of my constant prayers. Please know that there are so many people in this world praying for all three of you who have never met you and yet feel so close to you. May God heal your hearts and restore Cameron to perfect health. God Bless you and all of your family.

Yeah for Cam! Tracie, I truly believe in medical miracles...I don't know if I ever really told you a lot of details, but they (the doctors, radiologists, etc.) were 99.9% certain the mass on Tommy's brain was cancerous. MINUTES BEFORE the operation, the surgeon came out and told us after looking at his latest MRI he thought it was just a cluster of blood vessels (though it still needed to be removed). Later biopsies showed it was NOT a tumor! I truly believe that it was prayed away, we were being contacted by people all over the country that we didn't even know, and they were praying for him and us.

Yes, I believe in miracles, and I think Cam is going to be one too!

I know that our awesome Jesus will heal your broken heart and will make the ugly memories fade. He doesn't want you to hurt forever. He won't let you hurt forever. Sometimes it feels like baby steps, I'm sure. My prayer is for you to one day look back on all of this and to realize just how amazing you are and how far you've come. For now, take care of you! You're the best!

Tracie,

Thank you for the update and the pictures, that Cam is a total doll baby, sleeping in Mama Jane's arms... so precious. Stop through Littleton sometime after Children's, hon, drinks are on me!

Time WILL lessen the pain, I promise, but the tears... you'll always cry for a loved one, I still cry for my mom who passed away 9 years ago, I can't imagine the pain of losing a first-born. It will get easier, slowly, and you have tons of family and friends to help you and Doug through it all.

Much love!!

Close your eyes for a minute and feel the embrace of all the mothers that are following your journal !!!! you are an inspiration for us. I am sure the angels will take care of the pain and leave only the wonderful memories you have of your dear child.

My family's thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. My heart goes out to you and the pain that you feel. I pray that the Lord stays with you and heals your broken hearts. I pray that Cameron continues on his road to healing. I pray that your faith (which has helped me and others grow closer to the Lord) grows stronger through this trying time. I pray that you don't give up on God and that you always remember that sweet Douglas is an angel, God needed in heaven.

May the Lord bless you and keep you in his care.

Tracie,
I have been following your boys journal for some time now. I've thought of your family a lot after this past month (and before that) and how hard it is on all of you. I can't begin to imagine the pain you are talking about.

I smiled when I read about Douglas and his "jumping back in the tub...diaper and all". What a precious story. I'm sure you have a lot of stories like that. Maybe you could write your own little book about all the good memories with Douglas. I'm sure you'll need a kleenex box close at hand, but that's ok.

Someone once told me at a very low point in my life "time will help ease your pain". I don't think he ever realized just how comforting those six words were to me at the time. My heart was hurting so bad at the time that I latched on to those words hoping they were true (they were in my case).

You have an open wound right now...exposed to air. Eventually a scab will form, and then a scar. The scar will be in memory of Douglas. Hopefully you'll forget the painful bad memories (like childbirth pain?).

Anyway, it is really hard to know what to say to a mother who has recently lost her child...I hope my thoughts don't come out the wrong way.

Glad to see you're back online and looking forward to hearing about Cam.

Cyber hugs to you from a stranger,

After our son died in April, a friend sent me the following poem. I hope you don't mind my sharing it:

"I Cry"

I Cry not for you, but I cry for me.
I Cry not because you are gone from me, But because you left me behind.
I Cry because I don't know the beauty and love that you feel and see.
I Cry not because I think you're sad, but because I am sad.
I Cry not because the love is gone, but I Cry because my love for you is so strong.
I Cry for me because I wasn't quite ready to give you up.
I Cry not because you're not here with me, but because I'm not there with you.
I Cry not that your soul was lifted up to heaven,
I Cry because you left us here on this earth so full of emptiness without you.
I Cry for me every time I think of you.
I Cry for your Dad and your [brother].
I Cry for all of those who loved you so dearly.
I Cry not for you, for where you are,
I Cry for us, for where we are, and that we are not with you. Every tear drop that falls from my eyes, are tears of joy and of gladness that you were such a wonderful part of my life.
I Cry not to be with you, to experience the beauty, the splendor, and the abundance of things wonderful. To know what it's like for everything to be simply perfect..........

You journal entry is both heartbreaking and happy, as we do believe as well that Douglas is perfect again, and laughing and dancing in Heaven. We looked to the billions of stars on a recent camping trip, and said a prayer for him, and imagined him playing and laughing there. Stay strong.

Hi Doug and Tracie. I'm home from a wonderful week at the Islands which my five adult children surprised me with. We looked at the stars and found "Douglas Hamilton's" up there. He's shining bright on you, and leading the way for all of us to follow him one day. I hope you've had a night to identify "his" star, it's a special one!

I got this from another guestbook:
"They say that time in Heaven is compared to the 'blink of an eye' for us on this earth. Sometimes it helps me to think of my child running ahead of me through a beautiful field of wildflowers and butterflies; so happy and completely caught up in what he is doing, that by the time he turns around to see if I'm behind him...I will be"

Giggles in heaven. That's the picture that comes to mind when I think of Douglas right now. And there's so much for him to giggle,laugh and guffaw about now! He's making up for all that lost time when he was sick and had so little reason to smile. You loved him so much then--you love him even more now. Let his heavenly laughter begin to fill your broken hearts. Bless you guys.

I will continue to pray for you both and Cameron as well. As for Douglas, he is in a much better place than any of us. I hope that he continues to dance in your prayers. I keep a copy of Douglas' song in my car and listen to it often. It makes me have a more positive outlook when things are crazy.

The father saw him waning. The proud sire
Beheld his pride go drooping in the cold,
Like snowdrop to the earth; and gave God thanks
That he was old. But evermore the son
Looked up and smiled as he had heard strange news,
Across the waste, of tree-buds and primroses,
And yet again the other mood would come,
And, being a troubled child he sought his father
For comfort such as fathers only give:--
Sure there is one great Father in the heavens,
Since every word of good from fathers' lips
Falleth with such authority, although
They are but men as we! This trembling son
Who saw the unknown death draw hourly nigher,
Sought comfort in his father's tenderness,
And made him strong to die,

One shining day,
Shining with sun and snow, he came and said,
"What think you, father--is death very sore?"
"My boy," the father answered, "we will try
To make it easy with the present God.
But, as I judge, though more by hope than sight,
It seems much harder to the lookers on,
Than to the man who dies. Each panting breath,
We call a gasp, may be to him who knows,
A sigh of pleasure; or, at worst, the sob
With which the unclothed spirit, step by step,
Wades forth into the cool eternal sea,
I think, my boy, death has two sides to it--
One sunny, and one dark; as this round earth
Is every day half sunny and half dark.
We on the dark side call the mystery death;
They on the other, looking down in light,
Wait the glad birth, with other tears than ours.
"Be near me, father, when I die;" he said.
"I will, my boy, until a better father
Draws your hand out of mine. Be near in turn,
When my turn comes--you in the light beyond.
And knowing all about it--I all dark."

Just a short update to tide everyone over. Tracie does not have her computer back yet from NC, therefore, she can not do an update just yet. Tracie, Doug and Cameron are doing well and adjusting nicely to being home finally. Cameron has been to clinic twice now at Children's Hospital in Denver. Tracie is very pleased with the Doctors and staff. They are encouraged by his progress and are doing well at keeping his GVH at bay. Tracie and Doug are so appreciative of everyone's thoughts and prayers. She will be in touch soon. God Bless

Dear Friends of the Nicolls:

I know that Tracie will update her journal soon, but I would like to share some details of the ceremony with those that couldn't attend. I hope that's okay with Tracie!!

The mass was at St. Paul's church, a beautiful vaulted church that was packed full of friends and family. The mass was simple but beautiful. After the mass, Tracie and Doug had a photo show (slide show) put to music to share with everyone. It began with the quote from the journal dated July 11 by Doug, then went to a picture of Doug and Tracie on their wedding day, then an adorable picture of Tracie's pregnant belly, next was Tracie in the hospital with her first born. The rest of the photo show moved on throughout Dougie's happy life, with Elmo and Shrek graphics, pictures of Doug and Cam, pictures of Doug with relatives and friends, and finally pictures of Dougie when he first came to the hospital. It ended with a joyful picture of a healthy Doug dancing on the beach, followed by the poem "I'm Free" (from the guestbook). It was 25 minutes of joy, laughter, and finally tears. There was not a dry eye to be found at the end of the tribute.

As we left the church we were handed brightly colored balloons, each had a message tied to it, mine said "high five". Then when Tracie said "Goodbye Douglas", we released the balloons and the sky was filled with color.

Everyone was invited to the graveside ceremony, where a short poem was read. The family stayed behind while the guests went to the reception.

The reception was at the beautiful home of Chris and Audra. Lots of people attended - Family from all ends of country, friends from Manitou High School, friends from Waste Management and lots of others. It was a nice time to enjoy refreshments and remember Douglas Hamilton.

Tracie looked beautiful (as always) in her black dress, and Doug looked great in his suit and Elmo tie (LOVED IT!). Little Cam had to stay at home as his immune system is still weak and he can't be around so many people and germs.

Since I know a lot of you are wondering (I was too), Tracie and Cam are now staying at home in Colorado with Daddy Doug. They have to go to checkup visits at Children's Hospital in Denver, and I think there is a follow up visit back to Duke in September. Let's all pray that Cam's immune system continues to strengthen and that he grows stronger every day.

I know that today will be hard for you and I am praying for strength, that you can be at peace with Douglas' funeral. And I am praying that everyone in attendance gets a real feel for the miracle that his life was and will continue to be! At Isobel's funeral, I sat there and listened as my dearest friends shared with everyone how she touched their lives and why they felt blessed to have been able to know her. And I have never been more proud to say that I was her mom!
So today be proud that you are the mother that you are and let Douglas and Cameron give you strength!

Love and prayers!

I am so sorry for your loss. Douglas was such a beautiful child. I will keep Cameron in my prayers.

I have an angel on my shoulder.
He whispers in my ear.
His voice is soft and gentle
And no one else can hear.

When I�m tired and lonely
Its comfort that he brings.
When I�m filled with happiness
I hear his laughter ring.

My Angel�s very close to me
I even know his name.
And though I can not see him
I love him just the same.

He now has no more suffering
And gone is all his pain.
I believe with all my heart
We�ll someday meet again.

An Angel�s job is taxing
It�s as hard as it can be.
I hope he doesn�t get too tired
Looking after me.

Yes, my Angel�s with me
From morning till the night.
I know as long as he is here
Everything will be alright.

So when my days are over
I�ll not pass in fear.
I know my Angel�s waiting
To lead me home up there.

My heart goes out to you... Doug, Tracie - and, to ALL of you in the Nicoll and Cain families (including the "chosen" family - FRIENDS): You continue to be in my heart and prayers, and in the hearts and prayers of my immediate and extended family. As a parent, I can only IMAGINE what you must be feeling and experiencing, but - NO ONE who hasn't been through this themselves, can possibly fathom the excruciating depths or the incredible heights of it. A rollercoaster, to say the least. The elation you experience for things that others may see as small steps - the darkness of the depths when, despite all our human wishes, things do not go as we would hope, or expect... but, you are not alone in it.
My prayer is for renewed strength as you begin again - Cameron needs you now so much more even than before... and I Praise God that Cameron is doing so well.
I am deeply saddened about Douglas, but somehow - there is also joy in knowing - there is no more suffering for precious Douglas in Heaven...
With love,

*The real victory of Faith
is to trust God in the dark*

To all of us touched by Douglas;

It feels extemely dark right now.... My prayer to you is that you somehow find the strength to trust in God
and to keep your faith alive. I know it is what Douglas is asking us, especially for his little brother.

I write to you with a very heavy heart today. Our family was terribly saddened and upset to learn of Douglas�s passing. Douglas was an unknowing, innocent young man who was forced to become a warrior. You have all put up an astonishing fight and we pray to God that he gives you the strength to continue. If we can take any comfort in Douglas�s passing, it is in knowing that his pain, discomfort and suffering are over and that his spirit is once again happy and healthy. He truly is a hero and his death was certainly not in vain. Douglas was a pioneer, leading the way to new treatments so that others will not have to suffer. Douglas�s courage, strength and brazenness in fighting this terrible disease are an inspiration to us all. Cameron, keep fighting, this is a battle you are going to win! All our love and prayers � The Corcoran�s

Aunt Jane,

I read this and thought of you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers...

When things don't go as planned,
You are the first one there-
someone to count on,
someone who cares.
When the world has lost its luster,
you never lose faith-
You're the door that's always open wide,
arms spread wide and deep conversation into the night.
Your a shelter for the soul,
the key to a diary
and a journal of memories
through time and years.
You are light in the darkness,
laughter in the night
an all the things that keeps one going
on life's unwinding road.
You are a special kind of person,
A unique and caring person,
One that I am lucky to know.

Dear Nicoll's family,

You do not know me but like so many who have visited your web site I have become attached to your family. I have been checking the site daily to see how Douglas and Cam are progressing. Even on vacation I called a friend to see if there was any news. Then she told me about Douglas. Words can not express how sorry I am. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

After getting of the phone, and learning that heaven had one more angel, a song come on the radio. It was like God was talking to me - telling me that Douglas was indeed home. The song is called Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) and the Dixie Chicks sing it. I have posted the lyrics below.

Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)
Dragon tales and the Water is Wide
Pirates sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you

Godspeed little man Sweet Dreams little man
My love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon we'll find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed little man Sweet Dreams little man
My love will fly to you night on angels wings
Godspeed Sweet Dreams

SOLO

God bless mommy and matchbox cars
God bless Dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "amen" wherever we are
And I love you

Godspeed little man Sweet Dreams little man
My love will fly to you each night on angels's wings
Godspeed Godspeed Godspeed Sweet Dreams

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough Faith to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hellos to get you through the final "Goodbyes."
I wish you enough light to guide you through the darkness,
I wish you enough smiles to get you through the tears
I wish you enough hope carry you through the storms.
I wish you enough Kisses and Hugs to remind you of all the you have given
I wish you enough love for that is what you deserve.

Dear Mommy,

MOTHER...

You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Gingerbread to ease my fears.

You gave the gift of life to me
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
For deep warm hugs and being there.

I hope that when you think of me
A part of you
You'll always see.

Love,
You loving son Douglas

To whom it may concern,
We are all sad today, however, "elmo-ville" has a new hero.
His name is Douglas. Words can not say what the heart feels.

Recently, I had the privledge to visit Douglas. I looked into his eyes, and he said "It's ok, Uncle Bob".

I am still the bare-chested blondy running and playing botchy-ball on Clearwater Beach last spring.

His "eyes" told me to thank everyone for the "love", from the families, friends, doctors, nurses and countless stangers that "plugged" in.

He said he will be fine and that God needed a new angel.

"And God doesn't need anything, but my laugh makes him smile."

So I am off to "elmo-ville"
I will see you all when you get here!

Love U.B

There are no words that I can say, just that the loss of a child is unbearable. Please know that so many people are prayig for you and hope that you find strength in God. God Call another child to be his Angel on Sunday. My dear friend Taylor. She was 7. She was the mothering type so reassured that Douglas and Taylor are up in Heaven playing with each other and at peace. May God be with you in your time of saddness.

Dearest Doug, Tracie and Cameron,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel with the loss of Douglas. God Bless you all and may the Lord bring you comfort.

THE SHIP

"I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. He is an object of beauty and strength and I watch him until at length he hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says,"there, he's gone."

"Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all. He is just as large in mast and hull and spar as he was when he left my side, and just as able bear his load of living freight to the place of destination. His diminished size is in me, not in him; and just at the moment when someone at my side says, " There, he's gone", there are other eyes watching him coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout "Here he comes!"

Our love to all of you,
The Bob Nicoll family

Hi there Doug and Tracie~ I have this poem for you.......

GOD lifted up his hands as if to say
Please allow DOUGLAS to walk this way

He will leave the year of pain behind
and begin an everlasting life of a new kind

He will share his passion and strength in heaven above
From the years you gave him unconditional love

His journey was quick, as angels often are
Forever he will watch over you from afar

Though your pain encompasses your souls today
Your family and friends continue to pray

That DOUGLAS is safe within
GOD'S embrace

And that he is beside him
in a wonderful place.......
I hope this poem brings you a little bit of comfort today. We are all so saddened by your loss. Know that we are here for you and your family. We will continue to hope and pray for Cameron's healing. We will be with you in spirit on Saturday. We love you~

tracie and doug,
i decided to write the lyrics to this song in loving memory of a true hero in my eyes..... Douglas!!!
Fly away where a new world waits for you. Always look back though. Not to cry and not to regret. Just to help whose left behind. Help us all to heal and understand cause we dont know why you had to leave. I can only guess it was time for you to be free. To ascend to a broader more wonderful life than this. I believe your in a better place now. A place where only beautiful souls will hold you. Be sure to comfort and protect your children. They need you now. Stand behind them, rise within them, and love them.
I cannot begin to understand your pain but i find comfort in believing that douglas is in a safe pain free world full of smiles and laughter... we love you and we continue to pray for little cam!!

The terrible loss of a child can break you apart inside. Hold on to the faith that has gotten you this far. You all have tremendous strenghth and courage.
Your Son is in a wonderful place and he can always hear when you speak to him. I know that children should not suffer, but I do know God has a special place for them.
I will continue to pray for all of you for the strength to get through this. I will also continue to pray for Cmeron's full recovery.

I DON'T HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE...



Lord, I come to you today, with a heart so filled with pain,
and a longing to be "free to fly" and find my way again.
I cannot go on living, on "what ifs", my whole life through...
The time has come for healing, and I give it all to You.

I don�t have all the answers, but I trust You�ll find a way,
to give me strength and wisdom, to face just one more day.
A mother�s heart is tender, (You know this to be true)...
my son was a gift You gave me, now I give him back to You.

I'll leave behind emotions, that have taken hold of me...
anger, guilt, hurt and shame, I lay them at Your feet.
No more endless crying, for what wasn't meant to be...
just a strong awareness, of the plans You have for me.

As Your will unfolds before me, I am ready to resume,
the work You started in me, that ended all too soon.
As I walk into tomorrow, I will hold my head up high,
knowing Jesus truly loves me, and "I don�t have to say goodbye."

My hope and prayers are that each parent will take the time each day to let their child know how much they love and care for them. No one should ever be able to take that for granted. The two of you are a inspiration to me and to many others as well. Douglas is now happy and healthy and I will continue to pray for Cameron. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gain strength in knowing Douglas has bloomed in the hearts of so many, many known and unknown family and friends. Though he is dancing in heaven, his memory will live on forever. We will never forget him.

Dance Dougie, Dance!!!

Sending our love and prayers for all of you, especially Cameron.

Dear Tracie, I am so sorry about Douglas. Cathy Sisco called in tears to tell us Friday night. Alex has been saying all weekend "I miss Douglas." I'm not normally a big fan of the Gazette, but that paper has done a wonderful job of keeping the community up-to-date and treating Douglas as the hero he was. Everyone prayed for Douglas at mass at St. Paul's yesterday. I wish there were something we could say or do to take your pain away. Love, Sharry, Hank, Tina and Alex Worley

Dear Doug, Tracie, and Cameron,

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son and brother. I have been following your website for a long time and I am amazed at the strength the Lord gives to us to go on another day when we think we absolutely cannot endure to live with the pain or the struggles. So many of us cannot even comprehend what your daily life has been like these last months. You have all touched so many lives and we will continue to pray for your family.

May the Lord bless your family.

Love,
Lonna

Dear Daughter of my heart,
I can't write, I can't talk, and I can't sleep. All I can do is think of the agony you are going through. What it must have taken from Doug to write final words about Douglas
Hamilton is too painful to imagine. Why my sister and her extended family must endure pain undescribeable to the rest of us, cannot be explained. God called us to be witnesses and not judges, but right now I need your prayers too. I am judging.
Love Always,
Aunt Peg
