CANCER FREE TRIP TO THE NEW FOREST!!! …#EP37

Welcome back to our channel. Life with the bridges.

We are the bridge family trying to get the most out of this rat race we all call life.

In September 2021 we found out our dreams had come true. We were expecting a new addition ….to the Bridge family.

We spent the next 9 months, like any normal parents would, preparing our life for the arrival of our little boy.

On the 11th of may 2022, at 11:11pm we were bless with the birth of our son. HE WAS PERFECT. We instantly felt love like we had never experienced and our family of 4 we always dreamed of. Was finally complete.

We had the most magical first 8 months with Teddy experiencing all that life had to offer. UNTIL on the 24 of feb 2023 he got diagnosed with high risk AML Leukaemia.

We spent 6 months (184 days to be exact) at Great Ormond Street Hospital. He endured 2 rounds of chemotherapy and a full bone marrow transplant in hope that it would save our son’s life.

We documented every part of his journey on this channel to raise awareness and give childhood cancer the exposure it deserves.

After riding the hellish and unpredictable storm Teddy made it to the end of his treatment and RANG. THAT BELL!

You are joining us now in our next chapter of this journey at home at bridge HQ, as we try to rebuild our life and continue to spread awareness about what it’s like to have a child post cancer and transplant in hope that this second chance at life we have been given. IS FOREVER.

So if you’re interested in following our journey don’t forget to like our videos, subscribe to our channel and hit that notification bell as we document our life as the Bridge family.

Our perspective and what we want from life when spending 6 months in hospital fighting for your child’s life, let’s just say has changed a little.

All though myself and Katie have been lucky enough to travel the world far and wide in the past and now are slightly restricted for now due to Teddys recovery. This doesn’t mean to can’t dream, explore and go on adventures from our doorstep to show our son what life has to offer.

TIME is something that none of us have control over and let me tell you. It isn’t on our side. I don’t have time. We don’t have time and you don’t have time. Yes I said it. YOU. DON’T. HAVE. TIME.

So if there is one message we would like to spread to all of our community here on our channel. It’s live for today as tomorrow is never promised.

We are going to breathe deep, dream big, travel wide step out our comfort zone and go and grab life with both hands and make the most out of what ever time we have left on this earth. AND WE are taking you along with us. So buckle up as LIFE. WERE COMING FOR YOU.
