Ben is coming home.
Thank you, praying friends. You [...]

You guys rock!! Ben has been making remarkable strides today. He is finally free of a feeding tube, has been able to have a bottle, eat some applesauce and Cheerios (that his Mommy smuggled in for him) and had his IV turned off. He is down to only 1 liter of oxygen [...]

I talked to Angie and she was feeling hopeful!! How great it was to hear that in her voice! Ben has been moved from 8 liters of 100% oxygen to 2 liters of 80%. Now that is a step in the right direction! He is a little more peaceful this way, even [...]
