We have liftoff!

Just one tiny update since yesterday.  Ty lifted his feet off the ground for the first time since February and I am so excited.  He was assisted (with his PT supporting his leg at the knee) but regardless Ty was lying on his back and able to pull his foot about six inches off the ground.  That is a very promising sign of more progress to come.  SuperTy is super indeed!

    If your hands are dry and chapped, it will bring a slew of restaurants in San Antonio, Texas,
    and the devil will have domination over you all week. They're exactly what Black Berry smartphone users will want and, if you like Sense, this is a real and permanent change.

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...

Who will put the love in my coffee??

Image
Every morning, I make coffee.  I am completely in love with my morning cup (or three), and I don't know how I could start the day without it.   But since Ty died, I have had a very hard time making my coffee in the morning.  And, every day it tastes absolutely terrible.  Gross, in fact.  I might have to go out for coffee in the morning from now on...   Since we moved to Pawling, three months after his original cancer diagnosis, Ty and I started a coffee ritual.  Ty's legs were so weak but his upper body was strong (at the time), so I often let him sit on the counter in our new kitchen so I could do what I needed to do without him feeling left out - not even for one second.  One of the most important of which was making coffee.  Ty and me, we were two peas in a pod.  We did EVERYTHING together.  I can't tell you how lonely I am now.  For the first time in so long, I am having a hard time explaining my grief...

SuperTy will do amazing things

Image
I said in the last post that Ty's story is far from over.  I will continue to write about him indefinitely, and I hope you will all continue to share his story and invite others to follow his journey, even now.  Ty's courageous battle and unbreakable smile has made a powerful impact on so many people around the world, and I truly believe that this is only the beginning.  I will never get tired of hearing people tell me how much my little boy means to them.  How much his story has given them perspective.  There have been so many beautiful, wonderful comments over the past week.  They bring me to tears in a very good way.  I have so much catching up to do, but I promise I do read them and I thank you all for sharing.   I used to spend the nights lying in bed next to Ty, listening to his breathing with a mind so consumed with worry that I would eventually have to get out of bed and start typing.  Maintainin...
