Look how good he looks. He is even eating a popsicle. He just ordered chicken nuggets for lunch. Lucky boy!
See the monkey. That is George. George has been to every medical procedure and even the last surgery. George has seen many things.
Grandma and Papa Grace are here to help today. Grandma is washing Ben’s Monster Truck blanket (sorry, Ms. Diana). He threw up last night all over it.
Papa is finding a cup of coffee for me. Thank God. I got a cup of coffee from the 17th floor today. I think that it is the same coffee that Mr. Larry made yesterday. It was good yesterday. Not so much today.
Our nurse, Shannon (who is wonderful!!), is working hard to get Ben better and in a regular room. He even got a popsicle for breakfast. It is good to be Ben today (besides the whole open heart surgery thing).

Kath,
Your updates are awesome. Thank you so much for keeping us all updated from a Mom’s perspective. Hope things continue to go well and you all have a great Thanksgiving day considering the place and hospital food.
I think the popsicle thing is genetic, knowing his father’s appetite for the things. Not to worry about the monster truck quilt — it was more than happy to let Ben throw up on it! Love you guys!
Thank the Lord, for he is good.I have held Ben in my heart and prayers for weeks. Each day or night, when Ben ‘s ordeal hit my thoughts, my prayer was on serious ” auto pilot”-Love all of you-
