waiting for internet service

we haven't been able to post in a few days, so sorry to worry everyone.  ty was discharged from the hospital late on Friday, and he has been feeling better - slowly but surely.  we have been without internet service all weekend, but we hope to be back online with regular updates ASAP.  in the meantime, we are holding our breath until Ty's next MRI which is scheduled for Thursday. We are praying under every single breath that the doctors suspicions are proven wrong.  That whatever it was that they saw on his previous scan is gone.

p.s. please excuse the spelling and grammar. this is my first time posting from the phone.

    I told Lou that you could come over at any point today if you want to use my computer. I don't have my cell, so call me at home 845-878-3331. Love and hugs. Can't wait to see you!

    Sounds good. By Thursday any spots completely disappear and there will be no look of surprise on my face. This will be my face. Im making it right now. It's saying "Do I look surprised....no."

    Multitasking! New feature in a Mom's life :)
    You will get used to it, you will see Ty will very soon show you the new gadgets and their use. In the meantime practice :)
    We will continue praying, new masses on the way for a prompt recovery.
    He you have to take the good days and enjoy them fully; remember Ty is fighting a big fight, so if he pukes, recognize his body is discharging the bad. What is good, he will keep for strength.
    We love you all and hope to see you soon.

    Remember:
    “Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All thing pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for. He who has God Finds he lacks nothing:God alone suffices.” St. Teresa

    "How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success."
    Elbert Hubbard

    "I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures."
    Lao Tzu

    SIMPLICITY OF LIFE AND LOVE + PATIENCE TO HEAL + COMPASSION IN THE PROCESS = CINDY'S GREATEST TREASURES!!!!

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 state, Ty seemed so incredibly peaceful and comfortable.  I laid down next

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 attainable goal for Ty.  And "

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.  Ty's doctors and nurses, they are so special.  They have given us beautiful. prec
