Callum James Cameron August 28, 2016 - February 7, 2017. On Tuesday, February 7, 2017, in the IWK, Halifax after a five month struggle to survive, Callum James was greeted by his special angel James Poirier and is now resting peacefully in his Great Grandma Wilma’s and great Grandpa Michael's arms in heaven. Born on August 28, 2016 in Halifax, NS, at 6 lbs 10 ounces, Callum was diagnosed with DiGeorge Syndrome, part of which left him with a serious heart condition. While his short life was filled with multiple surgeries and numerous setbacks, it is the countless examples of his toughness and ability to overcome the odds that will survive. Although Callum’s illness made him appear frail, our little fighter possessed strength, perseverance and an ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges. He was and always will be our Viking warrior. In his short time with us, he taught us all about courage, love, life, family, and the power of prayer. Through his life, we are reminded that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories.
