June 23rd update
Bennett has had some really Great Days! He is eating and feeling well!
Yesterday was an Awesome day for him! He went on his Make-A-Wish shopping spree. The limo, YES, a limousine came and picked him up. He went to several different stores purchasing some cool things. His favorite was a flat screen TV with surround sound! This will come in handy when the days come again that he doesn’t get out of his room. He really likes his lazy boy recliner from Furniture King! The employees welcomed him with a sign and balloons. How sweet!
We had an awesome lunch at Red Lobster. Everyone was so nice to him and Hamilton. It was a dream come true ! God has blessed Bennett with some Great days and that the timing of this Make-A-Wish fell when he felt good enough to enjoy it!
An added part of the Make-A-Wish was Bennett was invited to the Miners baseball game last night. The night just kept on getting better! We first knew he was going to be able to meet all the players but when he got there, he was given an autographed bat from all the players plus him and Hamilton started in the dug out at the beginning of the game and stayed in there the whole time! The coaches and players were so nice to them. They stood on the field during the national anthem with the team. It was all so cool and unbelievable!
#35 – Tim Dorn is one of his favorite players and he gave Bennett the game ball. #10 Mike Scanzano spent most of the night standing with the boys at the edge of the dug out and he gave him his bat.
The Miners won, it looked like any minute it was going to come a flood with lighting and thunder surrounding Marion and we only received a few drops – it was an Amazing night!
“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57

Good to hear that you’ve been able to enjoy these past few days. I wish I would have known that you were going to be at the Miner’s game… Saturday night is one of the only games we’ve missed!

Congratulations on getting good test results so far. I went on a motorcxycle ride today, by myself. Aunt Annette was not feeling up to it. I thought about you, and I am looking forward to our next ride. Take care and make sure you use a putter and not a driver in the hallways!!!
