Tomorrow
morning it is then...you have my prayers and thoughts. I've forwarded
Big Ben's story to as many prayer warriors as I can think of--priests,
nuns, online and 3D friends. You are all so strong...your support for
Hanna's family during your own heartwrenching trial has taught me many
things. Peace, love and prayers, Jane

I have
been to Ben's website many times. I have prayed many times for Ben but I
have never signed the book because I wasn't for sure what to say. I
couldn't leave today without signing because I am filled with so much
emotion from the news of Ben's surgery and Hanna. I will pray for both
family's and pass it on.

We are
still praying for Ben and your family. He is such a brave little boy. I
know that God is still in the healing business.Your faith is an
inspiration to all. May God bless you all this day in a very special
way. When my brother was fighting cancer (and so far so good) my words
to him were,"KEEP LOOKING UP".Sooooo Ben, KEEP LOOKING UP
SWEETHEART"!!!!!!

Dear
Bowen Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you as you experience
such a trying and worrisome day. I pray for comfort, peace, rest, and
healing for each member of your family and for Hanna's family as well. I
pray for each of the medical personnel at St. Judes and Le Bonheur
Children's Hospital to be well rested, comforted, at peace, and at their
very best most skilled level for Ben tomorrow and throughout his
treatments, and through those of their other pediatric patients. God
Bless you Ben.

I had to
sign in again even though I posted this morning. I read your update and
will be praying for Ben and the Bowen family and thinking of you during
tomorrow's surgery. Praying, praying, praying and believing in God. Your
families faith is such and inspiration! Both Ben and Eli seem to be such
wonderful boys and sons to such wonderful parents, I pray for both of
them. God Bless.

I will be
praying for you tonight and in the morning. Ben looks so much like my 22
month old grandson that it took my breath away. God bless this precious
baby and his family. Jesus hold them all in your arms and give comfort
only you can give. My husband Joe and I are in Jan Carriers sunday
school class and have been praying for Ben. God bless and sustain you,
kathy pensak

Hi Ben!
You are one special little boy! I am a Pediatric Nurse in Peoria, IL. I
care for many St. Jude patients in this area. I check their websites
frequently and found your site off a link. I have to say, your family
sounds like they are very special and caring. Many other families
mention your name in their website. I have been checking up on you, and
keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. I just wanted to write
tonight and let you know I will say an extra special prayer for you
tonight.

Jennifer
and Tom, Today I said goodbye to precious little Princess Hanna, and
through my tears I saw something so sweet it made me smile for the first
time today. Ben, asleep in his stroller. A lady at the cemetery gave me
this web address and I had to come home and read it today. My prayers
will be with you tonight, tomorrow and always. Thank you Ben for making
me smile.

For all
who read this tonight, lets all rally together at 10:00PM toinght (A
time when I think most people will still be up) and say a prayer for
Ben, Tom, Jennifer, and Eli. Lets not forget the team of doctors too. I
know that if I knew hundreds of people were praying for me at a specific
time how blessed I would feel. Stay strong, many prayers are going out
to you all. With much love.......

 Tom, Jennifer, Ben, &
Eli: I received a letter today from Chris Lyons wanting to know how they
could put this picture on the guestbook. I replied and told them, but
they had difficulties and had to leave from work. Chris sent me this
message: Hello, I wanted to ask a favor. I have been following Big Ben's
story for some time now and recently got the courage up to start sending
messages. I have wanted to attach a picture as you did in a recent guest
book log. Please let me know how to do this. Every time I try to attach
or paste a picture into the comments block, I am unable to do so. I so
much would like to share a special picture with them. Chris Lyons I
wanted to be sure that you saw this before Ben's surgery. I am sure that
Chris hopes that this picture brings you peace and relieves some of your
anxiety. -Alice Meadows

My 3 1/2
yr old daughter (Kelsey) and I said a special prayer for Ben tonight. We
pray that Ben is healthy, happy, and strong soon. Faith will lead you
through this :) Thank you for sharing Ben with so many of us - he's such
an inspiration! I'll say more prayers for the surgical staff, the whole
family, and mostly Ben. Give your precious sweetie a squeeze from Kelsey
and me.

Ben- I
was expecting to see you when I came to work tonight and you weren't
here! I had to check and see what was going on. I'm glad you'll get to
spend tonight at home with your Mommy, Daddy, and Eli. Sleep tight and
we (LeBonheur nurses) will see you bright and early in the morning! ~Amy
