I can't even tell you how excited I am that this event is finally coming to fruition.  It is going to be wild, outrageous and SO MUCH FUN!  Of course, it will be a giant mess fest indeed.  Whipped cream pie tosses, Mud puddle obstacle courses, food fights, splatter paint, giant bubble stations, dirt digs, and a giant fire truck to hose off the kids.  There are also pools, climbing walls, ziplines, batting cages, hay rides, bounce houses and so much more.  Fingers crossed for beautiful weather, but if it rains, who cares - that only means more mud puddles, right?

Thanks to our segment on The Doctors, The Muddy Puddles Project is really taking off!  I decided to post five recent photo submissions in honor of High Five for Friday (a social media campaign where bloggers post five photos that reflect on different things that happened over the course of the week, and describe why they are positive memories).  Even though all of these memories aren't mine, they are certainly positive and uplifting.  Enjoy! 


Twitter friends.  Please be sure to tweet your comments and/or messy photos with the hashtag #muddypuddlesproject :)  We just want more and more people to let their kids have more fun in honor of those that can't!!

Have a wonderful weekend.  Thinking of Ty every minute of every day, but knowing more children are having more fun because of him makes it just a little easier for us to cope.  Love you so much angel baby.  Hoping you are enjoying muddy puddles wherever you are.

    Wish we could make it :-( but know my children have a "mud hole" in our backyard that they play in regularly... and every time they do I see a ladybug!

    love that picture of Ty - maybe he's been sending so much rain to NY so all the kids can get out there and play :) Looking forward to the mess fest - it's going to be so much fun!

    I'm sure Ty is so proud of you; taking on the world one muddy puddle at a time. Ty's love is going to make some very happy children come Muddy Puddles Mess Fest day. Ty is so SUPER!
    I used to love playing in mud too. This is amazing that there is a festival devoted to all things mud now.
    Thinking of all the Campbells. I wish you all a muddy good time!
    Much love & hugs,
    Judy

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
