Dear
Bowen Family, I am so glad to read that you are home safe. I have been
reading your site since the end of May and have laughed at the funny
stories and cried with you on the sad ones. I pray for Ben and your
family, keep your faith and know that God's hands are on your shoulders.
My father is fighting lung cancer and the prognosis is not good, but we
are keeping the faith too! Ben and Eli are precious little boys and I
pray that they can laugh and play and enjoy life to the fullest. I have
two boys too, Christoper 9 and Daniel 6, little boys are so much fun!
God be with you all. Keep on believing! Sincerely, Carolyn Joyner

We have
given to St. Jude for many years but this year was different. Our
daughter, Andrea, who is in the 2nd grade at Teays Valley Christian
school,came home one day and said that we have to pray for all the kids
at St. Jude and for one special little boy named Ben Bowen. So, every
night at dinner, we pray for Ben. About 2 weeks went by and I received
my monthly payment receipt for my contribution to St. Jude. There was a
picture in it of Ben Bowen. I showed it to Andrea and told her that is
who we have been praying for. She carries it around with her so much
that it is tattered. I told her the other night that Ben gets to come
home and that we have to keep praying for him because he is still sick
and needs lots more prayers to heal him. So, every evening we still are
praying for Ben. What a special little boy you have. Know that he has
touched the hearts of many...young and old. And yes...I do believe in
God AND I believe God! Joyce, Joe, Jessica and Andrea

Tom and
Jennifer. What a feeling it must be to be home and back around your
family during this time. I check on Ben every evening as I check on Baby
Louie. You are such a strong family and your faith amazes me. I admire
your strength. Ben and Eli are such beautiful children. God placed Ben
with the right people. Even though I dont know the two of you, you are
beautiful people. God Bless your family. You're all in our prayers.

Welcome
Home, I am sure you are glad to be home, but I know there must be
trepidation also, out of the safety of the hospital, just remember you
are all still in the safety of His hands. Keep standing! Many prayers
coming your way! In His Stubborn Grip, Karen Fischer

I WAS
UPDATING MY SISTER TODAY ON BEN AND A SONG CAME ON K-LOVE AND IT MADE ME
THINK OF YOU. IT IS BY MERCY ME AND THE CHOURS SAYS "WHOM SHALL I SEND,
WHO WILL GO FOR ME TO THE END OF THE EARTH, WHO WILL RISE UP FOR THE
KING??HERE AM I SEND ME " IT MADE ME THINK OF YOU BECAUSE OF ALL THE
PAIN, HURT AND DISAPPOINTMENT YOU MUST BE FEELING AS PARENTS, YOU STILL
STAND UP AND MAGNIFY AND GLORIFY OUR GOD. I KNOW HAVING YOUR FAMILY
TOGETHER AS A FAMILY AT HOME MUST BE BITTERSWEET. BUT I STILL BELIEVE IN
MY HEART, THAT REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME FOR (AS I PRAY FOR A MIRACLE),
YOU ALL HAVE BEEN MIRACLES FOR OTHERS. WITH YOUR TESTIMONY AND THE SENSE
OF COMMITMENT THAT I CAN FEEL JUST BY READING YOUR STORY. ALWAYS IN MY
PRAYERS KARLA FROM FAIRMONT, WV

Dear Ben,
I hope you are feeling well, and enjoying being back at home. I will
never forget your sweet little face at Hanna's funeral, not a day goes
by that I don't think of her, and about the time I tear up, I remember
seeing you so innocent and pure. You are a miracle to your mommy, daddy,
and Eli. There is no doubt at all of how deeply they love you. It is
clearly written on every page of this web site. Still beleiving.......

Hey guys
I wish I could give Ben some antibodies to help him fight. Flu shots are
a must. Hope you are able to get them. Ben may need RSV shots to help
prevent the flu. Alex done really good with them. Maybe something to
ask. Looking forward to an HOME update. How is Eli? Hope you are getting
some much needed rest and having lots of family loving. I know they have
missed you all. Stay strong Bowens. Believing.

We
continue our prayers and check on you daily. Once while I was feeling
down and starting to loose hope, my daughter looked at me and with a
soft voice said " daddy we must always Believe". The lord will answer
our prayers, it not might be the answer we want, but one day we might
understand. God Bless your family.
