'Little Fighter' Marks 2 Years Since Diagnosis

His mother created a video of his journey thus far, and shared it on YouTube.

Two years ago this month, life changed for the Campbell family. 

That's when Cindy and Lou, who have lived in Pawling for about the last year and a half, learned the reason for their oldest son's sleep troubles. Doctors diagnosed Ty Louis Campbell, then almost 3, with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer—one that looked nearly impossible to beat.

Since then, it's been nothing but ups and downs for Ty, who will be 5 in October. Most recent scans show that he is cancer-free and stable, but his latest struggle is regaining movement, which he lost because of the long-term affects of radiation, in his limbs and neck.
