Video Montage

This video includes a lot of photos you have probably seen over the course of the past 10 months.  Some may be a little difficult to look at, but I wanted to illlustrate the truth about all Ty has been through.  Thank you so much, Janine, for helping me do this!  I enjoyed reflecting on what has been a challenging journey to say the least. Sometimes it feels like years since this all began. 

Ty has been sleeping it off quite a bit, but otherwise he's doing well.  We had a relatively quiet day on the couch watching Blue's Clues.  Go Chemo!

    Ty is simply delicious!!! I could just scoop him up and run and snuggle with him all day. How lucky are you guys that you actually get to do this? And could his eyelashes be any longer? :) Praying hard in Maryland. Hugs and Kisses sweet boy!!!

    It is amazing to see that throughout this whole video Ty is smiling. He seems to smile no matter what obstacle he faces and that is such a testament to his strength and courage.

    LOVED the video....so sweet and touching. You did a wonderful job.

    Love,

    What a remarkable child.
    Think about him daily.
    Bought him and Gavin a coming home from chemo gift to hopefully keep them busy. If you have a moment to send me your mailing address to my email which is seravino@aol.com I will mail it out asap.
    From a big super ty fan (and a big fan of his magnificent parents too!)

    Cindy:

    As I watched the video and read the comments tears stream down my face. I am speachless and in utter awe at Ty and at you and Lou. I prayed this morning asking for an answer as to why God felt it necessary to have Ty and your family go through this. My heart simply said that Ty is special and there is beauty in this ugliness, there is bond that can never be broken, their is a union of people you will never meet that love you as deeply as though we were related to you by blood. You worry about your negative thoughts - just remind yourself - you are human and it is natural. I continue to believe that Ty will beat this. You said once you had peace. Let God continue to give you that peace somehow when those times of negatives creap in. I do not know you but I deeply love your family and Ty. I do not mean to sound corny but I have fallen in love with your family and the days when you or Ty are not doing well I find affects mine. I pray a million angles kiss Ty well. Nothing is impossible when God is in our hearts. From Georgia.

    Cindy & Lou,

    I am in love with the video of Ty and it was also so wonderful to see Ty playing with Gavin too (the video before). They are such sweet boys, and I agree that you can't worry about every little thing, that is great advice, but also easier said than done.

    I am so sorry that your family has been subjected to all this pain. My heart breaks for you everyday! But. . . Ty WILL pull through this! Super Ty :)

    Again, I await the post that Ty is cancer free! You have taught me how precious life is. Im telling you, that little boy has truly changed my life!

    Team Ty always! :)

    He is the one of the most beautiful boys I've ever seen. Everytime I see his face his smile just lights up the screen. You did a great job on that montage and while it was very hard to see him in pain and discomfort in some pics, knowing he began to walk and is fighting so hard soothes my heart and mind. He WILL beat this I have not a doubt in my mind! Sending much love and positivity! xoxoxo

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

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
