Thank you!

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the prayers, messages, cards, meals and gifts that have been sent our way.  We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our friends and family.  The night before the surgery I told Ben about all the people who are thinking about him and sending prayers his way.  He told me that he just couldn’t believe that so many people, some of whom he’s never even met, were thinking of HIM.  Even in the hospital he would ask if everyone was still thinking of him and hoping he feels better soon.  We are so grateful that he is recovering so well and for the excellent care that he received in the hospital from all of the nurses and from Dr. Keating and Dr. Boyajian.

Sorry for the absence...there hasn't been much to update.  Ben continues to improve every day.  He is still a little swollen but that will take months to fully subside.  His incision looks fantastic and healing nicely.  We've been able to get out of the house a little and Ben has played with some friends.  I'm still not letting him play too much on the swing set so he hasn't been very interested in playing outside.  Overall though he is doing great.  It's hard to believe it's only been a week since we came home from the hospital.
