January 23rd update

Ah, the sound of the boys playing basketball together in the house is so sweet! Bennett has felt good. He has been going to school each day, participating in P.E. class, and in the evening playing basketball with Hamilton. He has really been watching what he eats and drinks lately. He tries to drink eight glasses of water and several glasses of milk each day. He doesn’t eat any junk food as he really wants to be healthy. He has also been lifting weights at home.

The Red Cross is having a blood drive at the Franklin Hospital on Friday and also one at the Benton Grade School on Monday, I encourage everyone to donate blood. I know I will. It really saves lives. Bennett has received several blood transfusions and we sure appreciate those that have donated blood.

We heard some terrible news today. A young boy fromĀ  Thompsonville was just diagnosed with leukemia today. He is in ICU at SLCH. Please pray for him and his family. I lend my hand/heart out to them.

I appreciate everyone’s prayers, love and support. Thank you so much for all the comments on Bennett’s website. It always puts a smile on our face when we read and see who is still praying for Bennett’s miracle! God bless you.

“For the Lord is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Psalm 84:11
