Eye Witness

For the next week our family gets the chance to witness Ben's treatment first hand. We learned quickly it's not comfortable for Ben and is a painful site to watch. From the vest, Ben's whole body shakes and when he tries to talk he sounds like he is on a roller coaster ride. Reality is sinking in ... Ben has to make big sacrifices to maintain his health. When Ben's cousins are already playing with trains and running around doing normal childish things, he has to sit for 20-30 minutes for his treatment twice a day. When he is older the situation remains the same. He will have to wake up extra early before sports games, school, and when he has sleepovers with friends, he will have to take time out for his treatment.

Ben's cold is getting better! There is no doubt he is healing fast because of the POWER OF PRAYER! He has never fought a cold this fast, even before his diagnosis. In the past, Ben's colds would last for weeks. We are thankful and encouraged through God's goodness! On the other hand, Uncle Time, Aunt Krista, and cousin Jack are all sick. Living together for one week in a spacious lake house is a special time for our family but nerve recking that germs will be spread. We have become Nazis about washing our hands, the number one prevention.


We believe in a POWERFUL, AMAZING, LOVING God ... he will take care of Ben! Psalm 34:8 - Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
