Great Adventure!

Today it is official we are moving to Kentucky so Ben can go to Kosair Children's Hospital. We will be so close to my parents and this will provide so much support for us. We will be leaving the day after Thanksgiving to make the trip. We will have to drive because Ben cannot get on an airplane.

Matt will go back to school to continue to work towards being a firefighter and I will be helping Ben (brother ben) run the pest control office from Kentucky. He and Val will be doing all the operations of the business and I will be doing all the accounting and bookkeeping. This will be a good situation for all of us and we are very excited. Ben and Val will be taking the lease on our apartment and this is a blessing to us as well.

We do not know yet if we will be able to go to Thanksgiving at Aunt Pam's house. It all depends on Ben's ANC's. If we can't go Matt and I will still drop by to say goodbye to everyone.

All the prayer and support in Phoenix has been amazing and we can never replace it. We love you all.

Love Jamie

Pray with us for Ben....one of the side effects of the chemo drugs for ben are sores that start in his mouth and work their way through his entire digestive tract. So far we have been blessed and Ben has not had these sores until tonight. He has two large open blisters in his mouth and although he has mouthcare that helps minimize discomfort he is in a lot of pain tonight.

Please Pray for a blessing of Mercy...my heart aches for him right now. He is such a sweet baby and he is even apologizing for crying....Pray for healing of these sores and pray for peaceful sleep for him.

Thank you

Jamie

Good News!!

We got the results for Ben's MRI today and it came back clear. There is no sign of Luekemia on his brain so they have decided that ben's droopy eye is a common occurence in kids his age and he will grow out of it in time. We have recieved three different Dr.'s opinions on this and feel confident that everything is fine. AMEN!!!! I really was agonizing that he would forever have a droopy eye. I am glad this is not the case because I have vanity issues :)..... I love you all thank you for your prayers about this.


Ben's appointment last Thursday went well, we won a tremendous battle. The battle of the face mask. Because of all the flu breakouts and the scary H1N1 they want every adult and child to wear a mask when they come into the Dr. office. Ben of course refused and screamed bloody murder every time we tried to get him to wear one. I would love to say that through much patience and gentle coaxing I succeeded in getting him to wear one but that of course is not how it went, so what did I do??? I BRIBED HIM OF COURSE....you know you would too!!! So Ben wore his mask the entire 4 hours at his last visit and came home a happy little boy with a brand new train and I came home with my sanity!!!!!

I love you all!! Keep reading and praying. We will have more news later this week so check up on us later.
