Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Ben.. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I pray
that God will ease the suffering for your entire family, especially for
Big Ben. It just breaks my heart to think of him in all this pain and my
heart goes out to you Tom and Jennifer because watching your child
endure so much pain and not being able to do anything to make it better
is the worst feeling in the world. You will continue to be in my
thoughts and prayers.

Big Ben
and Family, After reading your journey from the beginning, I must say,
this family has tought me something. I always believed in God the Father
and Jesus his son, immaculate conception, the death and resurection.
Even though I believed all of this, my faith was not unshakable. Reading
your story, and witnessing the faith that you have, has given me a whole
new perspective. Your story makes me want to live with the Faith and
Conviction you have. I strive to walk a better life with Christ because
of your Testimony of Him. I pray God's hand upon you as you await Ben's
flight home to be with Jesus. Love in Christ to your family

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli, and Ben, your family is an inspiration to us. I was
really touched when I read what you posted about when you see Jesus, run
to him. That will be in my heart and mind always. You have kept the
faith and you never turned away... God Bless you all.

Hey guys,
I had just went to bed last night and after i said a prayer for ben and
something started bothering me. I began thinking about the things that
have happened between Ben's and my life: Our brain tumors were diagnosed
around the same time, our birthdays are within two days of each other,
his name, the one place he wanted to go was disney world and that was
the same place my parents took me after i got out of the hospital from
my first brain surgery. I began to get really restless and couldnt go to
sleep, i tried for 30 min. then i decided to get up and write it all
down, by then it was 1:30 in the morning and i had to get up at 7:30 for
class so i started writing. I finished around 2am but i was much happier
after i wrote all my thoughts down. Im thinking about sharing it with my
church to let them know about ben and what a blessing he has been and is
in my life. Im going to go home and finalize it tonight. God Bless, Ben
Flanery

I have
been very touched by your story and your son's life. I feel that the
Lord has given you such a testimony to share with others that are going
through similar situations. I am from the Minden, La. where I am a
school teacher. Stanton Haynes was another child that really touched our
lives here. May the Lord bless you and continue to hold you up as I know
He will do. God Bless, Malea Geis

I am
praying now for Ben and his Hospice team that they may make him
comfortable. I know they are doing everything they can for him and you
have all of the best advice in the world surrounding you. I would just
like to offer you the fact that when my daughter passed at 14 months we
used a drug called diastat to help with her pain. It is used for
seizures...it is rectal valium and it was amazing in helping with the
pain. It is expensive but worth it. I am also praying for you all as a
family.

My
prayers are out to all of you. My 3yr son just had open heart surgery
and I though that it was hard to go through but I can not imagine what
you are going through. We will be praying for your family. Prayers
really do help as we found out.

I was
thinking of Ben today, as I do always. Ben is so much like my best
friends little girl Morgan, their birthdays are 2 days apart, they both
have the same type of tumor, they both have big beautiful eyes, amazing
smiles, and they are both precious, great, and beautiful children. Big
Ben my prayers are with you. To you Eli you are a precious big brother
and God is watching over you too.

Don't
feel the need to keep everyone updated on Ben, as we all understand. Use
this time to love and care for your precious baby son. Our prayers for
God to comfort Ben, and to give him peace, are continually being asked.
You're always in our thoughts and prayers. Still praying, and still
believing. Love and Caring, Carole, Jim D, and your Monterey, TN.

WE
continue to pray for Bens comfort thru this difficult time. May God give
him peace and may God comfort you, Tom , Jen and Eli. A little side
note. My 8 yr old daughter accepted Jesus into her heart this last month
and was recently baptized on Sunday 2-20. When I saw her go under the
water the first person I thought of was Ben. I don't know why but I do
know that the Lord works in mysterious ways. I felt a presence there
that I could not explain and Ben was in my mind. God bless you Big Guy.
We love you.
