He's happy no matter what or where--


When in the hospital, most of the time, Ben looks like this...

As sick as he is, you would think he'd look like this...

He spends most of his time doing this...

Making all of the noises of course...

And just having a really great time...

We also played with a lot of green play dough and did these craft projects...

He also had fun making this, a picture of "me and you, mom, at the hospital", aww...

Here is the gorgeous view from our room, so pretty...

Of course, it's not all fun and games at the hospital and it takes at least a day or so for Ben to perk up enough to play, but I am always amazed by his resiliency and his great attitude! What a great example!

So happy to be home now though!

(Here's what's going on... Ben has a terrible virus, the dr said "it's like RSV on steroids", plus somehow, coincidentally he developed bacterial pneumonia in both lungs with effusion (fluid in the lungs-it was really bad on the left side particularly), he has bilateral bad ear infections, and unfortunately his PTLD cancer has come back (it flares up every time he's sick) and the way we've been treating it the last few months has caused his heart to be in mild rejection. Lots going on at once and he has yucky symptoms with about every part of his body, but he his happy and on the mend. Such a sweet boy!)
