August 26th update

Holy Cow! That’s what we were saying at the Dr. office yesterday about Bennett’s weight. He now weighs more than ever, it’s almost time for a diet! LOL He weighed 139.9 !!! We had a bet going between each other. Bennett guessed 136 and I guessed 139, he owes me lunch! Before we left the Dr., he got on the scales again and he weighed 141. I told him it must be all that muscle and his long hair!

Today at football practice, Bennett ran up and down the stadium stairs, he said he did it 10 times! He is really motivated now to get back in shape. He also lifts weights at home every night unless he lifted at practice. He really looks healthy, it’s the best he has felt and looked since this all started. We Praise God for his gratefulness!

We have many blessings that we are thankful for which reminds me of two special people that have faught the fight. We Thank God for our dear friend Brittani Shurtz Nolen and how great she is doing! You would never believe she had two lung transplants and all the trauma she has been through in the last four years.

Another is my uncle that was in the horrible auto accident a year ago. He showed me pictures today of his vehicle again and a picture of him with all the tubing keeping him alive in the hospital. We are so thankful he is home and is feeling pretty good considering.

It’s unfortunate that it takes these fatal circumstances to really realize what we have and bringing us closer to our savior.

I thank God for making us a witness of his miracles that he performs daily! We celebrate the gift of Life.
