I feel
very confindent that the Lord will guide you to make the right decisions
regarding Ben's treatments. I hate that he has to go through all of
this. I know God is hearing all of our prayers and answering them
according to His plan. Hope you all have a GREAT day.

Isaiah
40:11 He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his
arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that
have young.

My heart
breaks for you and your family. I remember how the "unknowing" puts such
a strain on the heart. All of us here in Maine are always thinking of
you Ben. You have to beat this! Praying for you and all your Saint Judes
friends! Hang in there Tom and Jen. I'll write again soon. Love Wendy

Ben,
Seeing young children such as you having to suffer makes me wonder if
there is a God! I'm sorry that you are having to go through this. I only
wish there was a cure! Kenny

Hey Big
Ben and family. Sounds like a lot has been going on. I had goose bumps
after checking on him. That is great. It is better then great. May you
be as fortunate soon. Until then. We will pray and support you and pray
some more. Together we are here praying and believing in God and his
plans and the mircles he can only provide. Stay strong. Believing

Hi guys.
I just wanted to tell you that I love you and have you in my thoughts
and prayers everyday. Tom I'm glad you got to call Nana today. She
worries herself sick about Ben everyday and it helped that you got the
chance to call and talk to her for a while. Kisses and hugs to Eli and
Ben - Jennifer & Tom - stay strong guys - I admire both of you so much.
Love Aunt Karen

We made
it home safe at 6:00 a.m. this morning. We were passing Barboursville
and Brian and I looked at each other thinking the same thing...If you
and your family were with us, you would be home. We received great news
yesterday. McKinley's surgery went well and the doctor's were very
optimistic that she will be able to keep her right eye, but it is
basically a waiting game. They extended our return from 3 weeks to five.
So we will see you in September. I will continue to read your updates
and give Ben and Eli a big kiss from us.

Jennifer,
I'm praying for all of you. You need to get to Hgtn for a
morale-booster. Remember, we're all believing with you.
