Let's make Ty famous!

We don't have much to report from the hospital today.  The testing of his intracranial pressure has been postponed until after the weekend because he drained a significant amount of CSF fluid overnight and his neuro team wants to err on the side of caution.

In the meantime, please share Ty's video with everyone you know.  We posted it a few days ago, and we hope you will share among your friends and family.  We want everyone to follow Ty's story, and we plan on making more compilations as his journey continues.  We want Ty to have as many supporters as we can get because the power of prayer and positivity is unmeasurable.  Thanks!

Anything but cancer

Cancer is not welcome here.  It can never, ever, ever, ever, ever come back.  As I mentioned yesterday, Ty has been showing some physical symptoms that we haven't seen in a long time.  Please, God, don't let it be cancer again.  Anything but cancer. I spoke to Ty's doctor first thing this morning and he believes the increased weakness we are seeing on Ty's left side is not related to new cancer growth - but that doesn't rule out the possibility.  He feels that Ty is suffering from spasticity, which is becoming more visible now only because Ty is getting stronger.  As Ty's muscles begin to regain mass and tone, the neurological weakness on his left side is becoming more noticeable.  This spasticity is likely permanent, but also treatable with continued therapy.  When I spoke to his physical therapist later today, she agreed that it would explain what she is seeing, and then she reassured me that walking again is still a highly...

Our baby is finally free. Rest in peace Ty Louis Campbell.

Ty Louis Campbell is gone, but his story continues.  This is our promise to him.  His impact on the world around him gives his short but inspirational life such meaning.  His soaring spirit will continue to fuel a fire in our hearts, and strangers around the world will continue to fall in love with the little boy who fought so valiantly.  The little boy who hurt so much, but maintained a bigger, brighter smile than the healthiest of children.  Ty never did break his fever.  He never really woke up.  Not until he decided to leave this earth and fly freely among the clouds.  At that very moment, he was awake.  He had returned to Lou and I to say goodbye.  To say our hearts are broken would be like saying it tickles to have your stomach ripped open with a spoon.  I went to bed last night with so much worry on my mind, but I was able to fall asleep because I was calmed by the fact that in his semi-conscious s...

Our aching hearts

Image
My face is swollen.  My eyes are heavy.  I have been crying for what feels like an eternity.  But in between my tears, I have an overwhelming sense of freedom.  Today we were told that there are no more treatment options for Ty.  That his MRI Saturday night shows progressive lepto-meningial disease in three different areas.  Lou and I decided against surgery to fix Ty's shunt, and I am finally free from feeling responsible for whether or not he lives or dies.  Ty is in God's hands. No matter how many times I swore that I leave Ty in God's hands, I was always clinging onto him with every ounce of my being.  Researching.  Fighting.  Begging.  Doing anything in my power to find a way to save him.  Finally, I have exhausted my options and I am letting go.  I may be kicking and screaming, but I am still loosening my grip because I know that I have to.  We have tried so hard, for so long....
