September 24th update
Bennett is doing good. He was catching up on what he missed yesterday at school. He got almost all of his homework done yesterday at the Dr. office.
We were able to see our friend, Ryan yesterday, he still is in the hospital after his gall bladder surgery. He hopes to be able to go home soon. Our friend, Tyler was admitted to the hospital too, we were surprised to see his Mom as his stay was an unexpected fever. Our friend Ethan starts his treatments tomorrow in Philadelphia. We pray these friends are on the road to recovery soon.
Bennett had practice tonight after school. His team plays tomorrow afternoon in Carmi for the regional tournament against Mt Vernon. Bennett really wants to win. He has sure enjoyed this ball season. He went to the Hitting Zone tonight. He goes once a week but hadn’t been in 2 weeks because of being sick.
Thank you to those that comment on this site. We read each one and it helps us to know that our support team is still there.
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
It makes me so happy that Bennett is feeling better! Reading about his past few days just brought a smile to my face. =) I love you all!!
Just wanted to let you know that I continue to follow Bennett’s news each day. I am so glad that things seem to be going well for your family. Know that my family continues to keep your family in our prayers. Also, I have to say that I love Bennett’s dark curly hair. I hardly recognized him (I can’t remember seeing him without a baseball cap). What a handsome man he has become!! Of course he would be handsome without the hair as well!! I will continue to pray for good health and happiness for you and all of the caringbridge families. Keep up the awesome baseball Bennett!! See you soon at some sporting event I am sure!!
I read every day and follow not only the tests and progress but the ball games, fishing and hunting and enjoy all. My friend of over 40 years was recently diagnosed with bone marrow cancer so I follow the treatments Bennett has to see if something might be similiar
HI Bennett and Cindy,
Sound like you are doing good. I”m so glad to hear how well you have been doing during baseball. We’re just hanging out here in Philly…..boy do I wish I had another “Mother Hen” to talk to. It’s quite different out here! Bennett, we wouldn’t have a baseball game with toilet paper tubes…..I don’t think they allow that kind of stuff here! Ethan is asleep now. We have to wake him up for oral meds at midnight and 5:00……that will be fun! Dave is at the RMH for the evening and will be back in the morning. We’re hoping to be back home soon!
Take care,
Dave, Alicia, Ethan and Ava
