Bryce's Brave Journey

02/09/2026

1 year 👼

1 whole year since you went home to Jesus. As this day came closer I could feel my heart aching more. Physical exhaustion overwhelmed me, and my patience wore thinner. My grief felt heavier.

Enduring the most painful day of my life has been an agonizing experience. This persistent pain takes my breath away, causes physical pain and has profoundly changed me. As a mother, my life revolved around Bryce from the moment he entered this world. Navigating a future when my life seemed to have come to a standstill appeared impossible. Through Gods grace i'm here today living through Gods strength Bryce showed us, the love he was filled with, and the courage he expressed daily. Bryce is free, healthy and experiencing only joy. (Isaiah 35:10) ; (Rev. 21:4)

I am eternally grateful to be Bryce's mother and to have experienced the profound love between a mother and son. Our bond was genuinely beautiful. Bryce's soul was a testament to strength and beauty, and I look forward to our reunion.♥️ Today we grieve everything you were and the future we planned, yet we celebrate your beautiful brave soul and the love you shared.

Mama misses you baby SO much and I love you more than anything my sweet angel.

2025 ✨️

As I reflect on the past year, I can confidently say it has been the most challenging year of my life. It is solely through Gods grace that I am entering 2026 with resilience. Having faced my greatest fear and endured the most difficult day of my life, I am certain that I can overcome any obstacle life presents. The thought of leaving 2025 behind is bittersweet, as it marks the final year I spent with my baby on earth. However, I can choose to view 2026 as a step further from the last time I held him or a step closer to our future reunion. ✨️

In 2025, my baby boy went home to Jesus, and I began my walk in faith, became an aunt to a sweet little girl, took multiple trips to Florida, explored new destinations, embarked on my first cruise, my cousin got married, and i started a new job. Ive learned you can experience both grief and joy when you surround yourself with the right people. While I am uncertain about God's plan for my life, I trust in him. I know ill see my Brycey again and until then, I will strive to grow, learn, and fulfill my purpose. ✨️

I hope you all have a blessed New Year 🥂

Here's to 2026! 🎉

My safe haven to my perfect angel,

While living at CHOP with Bryce, I had a visitor who became very special to me. We had a conversation, and when I finished, she looked at me and smiled.

She commented, "Bryce is your safe haven." "When you're happy, you smile at him; when you're nervous or sad, you turn to Bryce. When you share something that worries you, you hold Bryce's hand. That's truly beautiful."

I often replay that conversation, especially after Bryce's passing. She's right - he absolutely was and still is. I needed him just as much as he needed me. He kept me going! As his mother, it may sound cliché, but Bryce is the most beautiful soul, and I feel incredibly fortunate that God chose me to be his momma.

I love you endlessly, Bryce Ryan 🕊 🤍

Yesterday, we celebrated Bryce's life. It was both heartbreaking and breathtakingly beautiful! Bryce deserved every ounce of love that filled the room, and it was truly uplifting to see our village come together to celebrate my sweet boy. It was incredible to witness the outpouring love and support from family and friends who traveled near and far, and from friends from different stages of life. I am forever grateful for each of you who showed up during unimaginable times. The service was a testament to his courage, bravery, resilience, and love. Thank you to my aunt and cousin for the readings that completed our service. I know Bryce felt all the love yesterday. 🕊️🩵

Thank you to all of you for the comments, messages, texts, calls, flowers, meals, gifts, and donations sent over the past week. Also, all the love and support over the past 2+ years through his courageous journey.✝️

Bryce Ryan Campagna, mommy loves you so much - I miss you terribly and I look forward to the day where I can snuggle you again. Xoxo

It saddens me to share with all of you -

My sweet Bryce Ryan has gone home to be with Jesus. He passed away peacefully in his sleep Saturday morning. My heart is completely shattered. Accepting this new reality seems nearly impossible. I have always dreamed of being a mother to a son, and Bryce exceeded all expectations. He is my greatest blessing and I will forever treasure the bond we shared - I ask all of my mama and dad friends to please please please snuggle your babies every moment you can ❤️

Bryce Ryan - mommy and daddy love you so much. I'm deeply thankful for the experience of being your mommy, I fought tirelessly for you every single moment of your life, I regret not being able to do more to defeat the terrible illness. You were always a shining example of strength, bravery, and patience. To know you is to know pure love. You are my most precious gift, my whole heart, my soul, and forever love. You are my son and I look forward to the day I get to snuggle you again ❤

I want to begin with thanking you all for the continued love and prayers for Bryce! It's so special seeing all the love for my sweet boy.

Bryce came home on Monday 01/27 🎉 Our shortest admission yet!!
✨ Go Bryce ✨ He left the doctors impressed with such a quick admission! Y'all if you knew how sick Bryce could get with blood infections youd then might understand how huge this is!! SO proud!

We still have some lingering symptoms but overall much better! We came home to a busy week. Bryce FINALLY started therapy and blew me away with how well he did. He was so interested in his new friends voices and me telling them all about him! 🩵 I'm SO excited to see him flourish and thrive as the sessions continue.

We also had a follow up appointment that went well. We didn't make the changes I was hoping for since he just got over being sick and that's understandable. They are still so impressed with how fast he recovered. Maybe next visit he'll be ready! 🙏🏼

We spent the month of January fighting Covid, Rhino, and a blood infection. Praying for healthier months ahead!

✨ Thank you again for following along, stay tuned for more this coming week ✨

We are truly thankful for your prayers, love, and well wishes. Bryce was admitted to the hospital on Thursday, 01.23, with Covid, Rhino, and a potential blood infection. The blood culture results were positive, which prompted the initiation of antibiotic treatment. Fortunately, Bryce's strength continues to shine! He responded well to the antibiotics, and he has started to recover quickly. The most recent cultures have read negative, and his symptoms have subsided. Although some residual cold symptoms persist, his overall condition is improving. We anticipate being discharged from the hospital within the next couple of days.

Fun story: You know you're in Philadelphia when they finish morning rounds with "let's get him home for the Eagles game" "go birds" 🦅 💚

Stay tuned 🤍

Hello all,

I know we've been MIA this month. We were just enjoying our time home trying our best to avoid the winter illnesses. Unfortunately, they found Bryce! He is being admitted to CHOP with Rhino and Covid. Thankfully he is being the rockstar he is and handling them fairly well. We'll be here for monitoring and to be sure it doesn't turn into a blood infection. Bryce has a central line which makes him high risk for blood infections.

I'm asking for prayers and well wishes for my sweet boy to fight these viruses with no issues and to be back in the comfort of our own home soon! 🏡

As always, thank you for following along 🤍

🎀 Merry Christmas Eve! 🎀

Presents are set, tree is lit, Bryce is asleep. As I lay my head tonight, I feel so much gratitude to be putting Bryce to sleep in his own crib preparing to celebrate our FIRST Christmas home together as a family. 🎄

The most special Christmas yet!! ❤️

"Merry Christmas to all.."
❤️💚🤍💚❤️

Today marks a significant milestone for Bryce! 🎁

We FINALLY had our EI Eval 🙌🏼 Y'all we have waited over a year for this evaluation!!! Unfortunately, Bryce was readmitted last year 3 days before his scheduled eval (after waiting 3 months) 😬

Despite the setbacks, Bryce's determination is admirable! He has been so active and playful these past two weeks esp this week. He was telling us he is ready 💪🏼 We will begin his OT, PT, ST, and vision therapy come the new year! I am eager to witness the incredible progress he'll make in the next few months.

What a wonderful way to conclude the year and embark on the next!

❤️💚🤍❤️💚🤍

**p.s. I promise he's not always in bed lol that's just when I think of taking pictures 🫠**
