A 2-year-old boy is back home, surrounded by loved ones after nearly drowning in a pool five months ago.
"It's probably one of the worst things that you think you would ever want to go through. Just kind of surreal," said the boy's father, Chaz Taft."He pulled him out. He started CPR with a couple of friends and the ambulance and paramedics and fire department were here in a matter of minutes," Maureen recalled."It's kind of nice to see him again, to be honest," said Trevor Goggin, with the Bensenville Fire Department.
Paramedics revived Cameron twice in the ambulance. He was then transferred to Lurie Children's Hospital, where he fought for his life on a ventilator. Then, the boy later spent two months in New Orleans on hyperbaric oxygen treatment before going to Phoenix, Arizona, to undergo a stem cell transplant."What a fighter! He's the strongest dude I know," his mother said.Cameron's body tone has relaxed, his head and eyes are now tracking. He can also taste and hold his head up for 30 seconds."He's defying all odds. He's a miracle, he really is," Maureen said."Super Cam? Super Cam, yeah.
