What can I do??

Since Camden's diagnosis everyone has been so loving, warm, and consoling.  We have received many calls, texts, messages, comments, and visits.  The way people open up and show compassion when your world is knocked on end is amazing to me and we appreciate every bit of it...but there is something that irks me to no end.

Upon hearing the news about Cam, most people's response has been "Oh my!! I am so sorry...." And my thoughts on that are, Why?  Why are YOU sorry?  Did you give my son this disease?  Did you wish this upon my family?  Of course not!  You say sorry when YOU have done something...
I'm sorry I broke your lamp.
I'm sorry I spilt wine on your couch.
I'm sorry I ruined your favorite shirt.
YOU caused those events so you should say you're sorry.  You don't say you are sorry when you find out my son has heart disease.

At the end of their "I'm so sorry" comment, people say "Let me know if there is anything I can do."  So, here is what you all can do.

STOP BEING SORRY!

Plain and simple.  There is no need to be sorry for us.  Instead, be thankful.
Thankful Cam's pediatrician didn't just wait it out
Thankful we found his diagnosis so young
Thankful he has not been affected by all of this
Thankful the beta blockers are working
Thankful we have an AMAZING family to help us through it all

Cam is a fighter and we will all get through this, but we won't get through it by people feeling sorry for us.  We will get it through it by being thankful he is a happy, healthy baby boy.

Lift Cam up in prayer daily and thank the Lord he is healthy in every other way possible.  And next time something major happens to someone, think twice before saying "I'm sorry..."
