Bennett is doing good and he has felt great! This makes us so happy and what a relief; we pray it continues. He really has enjoyed the last few days of sleeping in. We had a fun day yesterday, eating in Marion and looking around Marion mall. We went to Lindy’s game last night and they lost only by 2 points against Anna Jonesboro so they got 4th place in the tournament. We were excited that Lindy was named the MVP (most valuable player) in the tournament! That was against all the girls on every team in the tourney, very impressive!

Bennett had practice today, they had been off for a week. He said they ran alot but he didn’t seem as tired afterwards, he seemed to feel pretty good about the practice. I hope he can get back into shape and enjoy the rest of the basketball season.

We were talking about a man that was just diagnosed with leukemia a couple months ago at the dinner table tonight. Bennett and I started talking about the disease and treatment. He asked me, “Don’t you feel smart that you and I can talk intellgiently about this and no one else can?” I told him No, I really don’t. I honestly which I never knew all of these medical terms because than you would of never have been diagnosed. He says, he would do it all over again. Hamilton piped in and reminded us that he wouldn’t of went to a hockey game or gone to Alaska or many other things! We have been blessed with so many positives adventures in our lives but somedays I have a hard time out weighing all the bad. I think it gets scarier at times because you know too much. Also, that we are nearing the end of treatment and won’t be fighting this horrible disease with chemo anymore. I ask God to bless us with patience, understanding, trust, and relaxation!

You know, I have to repeat that, Bennett says He would do this all over again, I am pretty happy about that and pleased, It means he is happy about his life and that the good did out weigh the bad. He is a special young man and I am so proud to have him as my son!

Only one more day left until 2010!
