Today was another milestone for Cameron. He made the Middle School Track Team and competed in his first ever track meet. He ran the 400 meter event. This time last year he was still recovering from surgery and battling his way back to "normal." Whatever that means for a Perthes kid.
This may not seem like much to many, but to us this is HUGE. He competed in class to earn a spot on this team. He made the team with a fast enough time to qualify, but more importantly hips healed enough to allow him to compete. He has limped for years, hurt to walk, and fought through it all. And now today, he runs, and without pain...wow!
So today, he ran like the wind. He wasn't a first place winner by having the fastest time, but he was a big winner in his battle against Perthes. His hips allowed him to run today, without pain, and he did.....so proud!
