When there's no such thing as too much TV. Why I love preschool programming.

In support of National Jump in #MuddyPuddlesDay, ScaryMommy.com published another blog post I wrote about Ty.  Please read and share on this very special day.

I was waiting for this day to announce some incredible news about our partnership with Peppa Pig! Peppa is a beloved animated character who loved to jump in muddy puddles as much as Ty, and she was one of his absolute favorites.  I believe Ty had everything to do with her finding us, and choosing to support the Muddy Puddles Project.  It's all just so incredible.

Please read and share the post below.  Let your kids jump in puddles today.  Post your photos with the hashtag #MuddyPuddlesDay.  I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for this day.

    I'm so excited for you all...that's awesome. I also needed the reminder to let my kids be kids. Gosh - I know so well from reading your entire blog -- but the days get stressful and I lose the ideals...but thanks for reminding me. I miss Ty...Wish he was here but so thankful he makes such a difference to so many.

    I love Peppa pig. Sometimes I even miss the show because my boys are no longer in the stage of those silly adorable shows, they are "bi" boys now with serious shows. That's so awesome they are part of the muddy jump project.
    Miss you Ty.

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...

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....
