Go back to work, Papa! Ty needs toys :)

Nothing new to report.  We are all doing okay.  I just came across this video the other day and had to share.  Ty loved looking through toy catalogs.  Especially because all of his ups and downs had him confined to a bed or the couch most of the time, so this was a fun way to pass the time and keep him smiling.  He picked out so many toys, he told his grandpa "Papa" that he was going to have to "go back to work!" just to pay for them all :)

    The video was breath taking Cindy. Just the way he would speak, smile and laugh despite having cancer was just amazing. You could see in his face expression that those moments/conversations with Mom and Dad were the very best. He was and still is a beautiful soul. Ty will forever live in our hearts.

    With lots of love always,

    Thank you for sharing that sweet video of Ty. What a great way to start my day to see and hear Ty. My heart breaks for all of you. It just sucks that he is not here looking through his catalogs and looking at his mommy and daddy.
    I think of him all the time. Lots of love to you and Lou.

    Beautiful video of Ty Cindy.
    Funny just the other night my son was looking through the toy catalogue and telling me that we need to go to the shops to "buy some more" - his favourite saying.
    I love Ty's little voice & how he was playing games with you when asked how much he loved Mummy and Daddy - it really shows the charisma of such a beautiful soul & the love he shared with his Mum & Dad.
    Thanks for putting a smile on my dial!
    Thinking of you guys.

    his is so real i wanted to break rhe screen and place myself right next to him and rip the cancer out of him. how can he not be here anymore to say silly things and choose his toys. this is what his childhood should have been all about, choosing toys making mama and daddy laugh and playing with Gavin. Ty, you have changed my life in millions ways that I didnt think were possible. However, I would have given it all back just to keep you in your parents hands. Miss you so much baby boy.

    I haven't commented in a long time.... I always mean to, and then can't really think of any "right" words. When we are all still praying so hard for Ty to get better, it was easy to think of encouraging words... but now, it's so much harder. I can't begin to imagine how much harder the day to day stuff is for you, but I do want to just be one more voice saying how much Ty means to my family and me. Ty is still regularly referenced in my house, whether it's when any of us are wearing our SuperTy shirt, or when I light his candle, or sometimes when he just comes up in conversation.
    I think of Ty every single day. Literally. It's amazing how much your beautiful boy has come to mean to so many of us.
    Your post about losing patience with Gavin is spot on, and you're very brave to say it out loud (er, write it...) You've been through and done extraordinary things, but at the end of the day, you're a mom, and that is a mentally and physically exhausting job. We are all entitled to bad days, and YOU are entitled to any emotions or feelings of exhaustion you need.
    Some day, Gavin will be older - maybe when he's a dad some day, and he'll read this blog, and truly understand what you've done in his brother's name, and what you and Lou and your family continue to do for HIM, giving him the best life possible, and realize how deep his blessings run.
    I hope you have a great day today, full of smiles and signs from Sweet Ty.

    I didn't have it in me to watch the video when I posted the other day, because my kids were in the next room, and I had a feeling I'd cry. I was right. My God, Cindy, it's too much. I am SO, SO, SO sorry for what you have all been through. It is so universally wrong. That boy is beautiful and perfect, and should be with you. I KNOW he's in Heaven, and free, and happy, and is filled with nothing but love and happiness right now, but it is not fair that you, his mama and dad, are left with just these pictures and videos to hold onto until you can see him again. I'm sorry, I try to be positive with my posts, but I don't want you to think that any of us are losing sight of your reality.

    I am so sorry for your pain. I simply can't imagine it. My baby boy has had a hard time tonight; waking up every half hour or so, crying...probably teething or something.... and I just relish my time with him, snuggling him back to sleep each time. I hurt so much for you for what you've been through with Sweet Ty, but I am so glad that you still have Sweet Gavin there to snuggle. I wish you still had Ty. I wish that so much.
    I'm sorry, I know this is a downer post, but I just want you to know that so many of us "get it"... we feel your pain with you -- certainly not to your degree, but Ty left such a mark on so many of us.
    So many thoughts and prayers for you tonight, Cindy.

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two
    images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Anything but cancer

Image
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....
