Thank you everyone!

We are so thankful for the support and prayers for Benny these last few days. He took a bad turn and was admitted through the ER last night. He spiked a high fever and by the time we got to the hospital they said he was in shock. He tested positive for some virus but I think he was just dehydrated from two days of not eating (fasting for the procedure Wed and then not feeling well enough to eat Thurs) because two hefty fluid boluses later and he was a new man. But the docs were worried because he had looked so badly so quickly so we had to stay over. It was a bummer, but we're home now and doing fine. I feel like there's lots to get ready for next week because we have lots of doctor visits, a CT and they may do that endoscopy/colonoscopy/biopsy thing plus it's Aimee's birthday and we're working on the party. I'll post what I hear about the bone marrow results after our visit on Tuesday. :)

Oh Angie, I don't know how you do it all and hold all of the pieces together. You're a true inspiration to me; to be a better and more patient mother and to spend more time on my knees. If I could see you right now I'd wrap my arms around you and give you a great big hug. You're truly something special for Heavenly Father to send you so many trials and tender mercies, all the while knowing you'll be able to give his precious children just what they need. As a mother I can't imagine how you must be feeling, how lucky you're children are to have such a strong and beautiful mother. My heart aches for all your poor Ben has/ is going through. I wish there was some way I could lift some of the burden from his tiny body and your soul. You're all in my prayers. If there is ever anything I can do, please let me know. I would love to serve you in anyway possible. (Even if it's just bringing you a diet coke or some chocolate!) Your beautiful spirit and strength is a true testament of the gospel. Sending lots of love and prayers your way.
