Ben is a Celebrity at Children's

Today was a busy day at Children's Memorial Hospital, especially after the weekend. Michelle and Paul talked to the Doctors about CF clinic visits which start in 3 weeks. They are starting to get things ready to leave on Wednesday which includes filling prescriptions for Ben's medicines, setting up the follow up appointments, and making sure they know the techniques for Ben's treatment. It has been an extremely long, exhausting, emotional draining 3 weeks and the whole family is ready to get home!

Today Ben was sprinting up and down the halls of the hospital for 45 minutes without a shortness of breath! He is the healthiest sick person in the hospital! PRAISE THE LORD!

1 Chronicles 29: 10-13 - Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength, and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

After two weeks of being in the hospital, Ben has developed a reputation at Children's. He is known for being the fun, (mostly) happy (besides some treatments and IV antibiotics), cute, love-able, energetic, mischievous, and is known to put a smile on any face who comes into his room! Michelle said she called down to the cafeteria to order Ben food and the woman on the other side of the phone randomly said she just loves Ben and thinks he is so cute. Each nurse LOVES taking care of Ben and probably fights over who gets him each shift (common...who wouldn't?!). He's a special little guy who is unlike any other 2 year old little boy!

The whole family + Grandpa Bollier "Papa." They are all smiling so much because they are talking about motorcycles - Ben's obsession!
