Journal entry by Kimmie James

May 22nd CamRon got food poisoning from chocolate milk that was left out all day.  I mean all day it was also 100 degrees that day outside. The next day the 23rd he had Diarrhea along with being warm to touch over the counter Tylenol was given. The 24th Sunday around 5am CamRon was Shaking and Not verbally responding Came temp spiked over 100 degrees we rushed him to the ER. There the dr did a urine analyst and took a chest X-ray Came back with what they thought was Pneumonia. Gave us antibiotics and Tylenol Motrin and zolfran. Tue the 26th CamRon Started to reject the antibiotics along with the Tylenol and Motrin nothing would stay down. I made appointment with his pediatrician for the following day. But cam didn’t make in because Tuesday night I woke up to Cam Shaking again I rushed him back to the ER this different Dr said I’m going to do blood work. He woke me up around 5am and told me CamRon blood work was abnormal and his count is extremely low to none and they see a blast in cells. And he said he’s being admitted and transferred to A specialist that can assist better we will be in good hands.. CamRon made it to Sutter Sacramento upon arrival the team was waiting on CamRon with open arms BUT we didn’t know what was really about to happen and everyone around us knew. So the specialist came in and told us straight forward we believe he may have Leukemia his blood work will confirm it tomorrow morning in the mean time I need you to sign these consent forms because CamRon will be having surgery tomorrow on his bone marrow and we will do a spinal tap to remove fluid along with getting a Hickman for his broviac catheter. He explained CamRon have a blast in blood cells that indicate cancer cells. On May 28th CamRon was Diagnosed with Aml Leukemia that requires 6 to 9 month Chemotherapy treatment...
