Praying
for Ben's deliverance from pain. Praying for Eli's heart as he sees his
brother and mom and dad going through this. Praying for Tom and Jennifer
in those times when it is quiet and the doubts and fears attack that the
Holy Spirit makes the Father's loving arms a reality to you both.
Praying that you have peace and joy knowing that our God is in control.
Nothing happens by chance. We KNOW He has something great planned for
you all. Good night. Love, Hal

You are
truly an amazing family! It was a privilege to take care of you all
today and I am inspired by your goals and spirit. I can't begin to
imagine how difficult this is but I know that your prayers are being
heard. Hope the weekend goes well and hope to see you all again soon!

Saw Ben
today again on the news. This story was different then the one they
showed yesterday. It was more about Target housing and how great the
people are there. It was great to see Ben and Eli. What a great place to
be able to stay. Better then traveling to and from. They said there
would be another story Monday on Mr. Ben Bowen. Today has got to be a
tough one. Know you are loved, we are praying and here for you.

Keeping
you in our thoughts and prayers especially during this difficult time.
Praying that his counts do not get as low as expected by doctors this
time. Doesn't Ben (and God) keep "wowing" the doctors time and time
again? So excited to hear that Hannah is having a wonderful time at
Disney and getting to experience BEING the princess that she is! Tom,
God is good and you are very right when you say that God will take care
of Ben, even when you can't. Reminding you that "These things I have
spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD." With
love in Christ, Laura

Hey
Bowens....I just saw you on the morning news again. It was a rerun from
the first one they aired.
Stay strong and focused.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm
46:1
God loves Ben so much and it is not his will that anyone suffer
especially the little ones.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
Still storming those gates of heaven.
All our love in Christ

Dear Tom
and Jennifer, Thanks for keeping all of us back home updated. My girls
ask about Ben almost daily and Haley who is 10 is now getting on the
website several times a week. Ben is never far from my thoughts. We pray
for him and all of your family daily. Hang in there. You are not alone!

Hey Guys.
Nana and I saw you on the news Thursday and Friday. Ben is so beautiful
- that smile. It was so great seeing him walk and just keep smiling. I
know Ben is having a hard time right now since being admitted as
in-patient. My thoughts and prayers are with him and with you all. Give
hugs and kisses from us to Eli and Ben. Hangin' with you guys - many
prayers sent your way. Love Aunt Karen.

I pray
and check in on Big Ben all the time. My Grandson had the same thing as
Ben. I know my Jimmie will keep his eye out for your Ben. Just keep your
faith in God. He loves you and your Ben.

Dear Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Ben, We are cousins of Tom's Mom, Janet and have
contribute to a few of the fund-raisers. Having lost a son in 1974 at
age 2 1/2 to a malignant brain tumor after a 6 month's seige of
seizures, loss of all motor abilities, and then coma, we have some
inkling of what you have been going through. We know Daniel is in Heaven
and I am sure that he is looking after Ben. You all are in our prayers
DAILY. With love to you all, Nita and Henry Eckhart and family

Tom &
Jenn: So happy to see that Big Ben is home a day early and smilin
despite all the past few days have entailed. God's grace on him, Eli,
and you two. Sweet rest to you both. You were on our hearts as we sat in
church this morning. The sermon was that God wants to restore us. He is
a God of restoration. Know tonight that he is your hiding place, he
preserves you from trouble, and surrounds you with songs of deliverance.
Ben is such a mighty man of God and doesn't even know it yet. Believing
and standing in agreement with you, T&N

Glad your
home handsome. I am sure not more then your Mommy and Daddy are. I hate
it that you feel so bad. But hopefully with the guidance of your doctors
and our prayers it will be all worth it. This is my prayer you Ben. A
normal little boy’s life. You’re so brave. You don’t even cry or
complain. Here we are adults and complaining about some of the silliest
stuff. Grandmas tells us you all are so tired. I will pray for restful
days ahead with minimal discomforts, and no germs. As I sit here I can
see your big smile coming through the mask you wore in a picture on your
site. You are so full of life, strength and continue to push forward. No
matter what they are putting your little body through. Hang in there
Bowens. I believe and pray for you all daily. Gotta go check on the
girls. Taylor and Hanna. xxoo for Ben and Eli such sweet brave boys.

Hey Ben &
Eli! I know you have to get bored, sometimes, down there in Tennessee! I
found a super neat website for you all to check out. It is Grimm's
Fairytales: http://www.grimmfairytales.com/en/main There are all kinds
of cool things to do there, but the neatest thing is that it tells you
some stories. Have Mom & Dad help you out and have fun!! BIG Hugs &
Prayers!
