Big day today - I started radiation and tonight I try my new chemo drug (in applesauce!) Its going pretty good right now. I am walking great again and took an ambulance ride to get my radiation they even turned the sirens on. There are pretty cool things about being in the hospital...1 - you get to pick what to eat for each meal and you can eat it in bed watching TV if you want. 2- all the juice you can drink (any flavor) 3- lots of friends come to visit and play 4- STICKERS - lots and lots of stickers.
Excited about maybe going home on Thursday!!
Love you guys and thank you for all the funny pirate jokes -I love them!

Hi Ben!
I don't think you remember me, but I met you at Mr. Joe and Ms. Amanda's house over 2 years ago. I was the lady with the really big belly because I had a baby inside my tummy. Cassidy(my daughter) is now 2 and wanted me to tell you she hopes you feel better soon. We are all thinking and praying for you. You are such a brave little boy!
Take Care,
Chris, Shannon, and Cassidy Lescale
Hey Ben,

Whoa Ben!
It is already looking like you are running the place!
My name is Rachel. I go to school with Aunt Mego. I am actually living in their house in Flagstaff right now! That means I've already gotten to look at great pictures of you all the time. Your pirate pics top them all! Hope you feel better soon buddy!
Hi from us up here in Saint Louis !! We are surrounded by three rivers, so I hope the pirate ships don't sail on any of them !!
The big Arch here will protect us !!
Saint louis sends you lots of hugs, kisses, and good wishes.
Say HI to your Mom and Dad for us, too.
Gina and John Bussmann (yep, we have the same name as Aunt Mego and Uncle Mike!)
Howdy Pirate Ben! It's been a long time since our ships have crossed paths, so you probably don't remember us, but we're friend's of your Aunt Mego that live in TX,where there are way more cowboys than pirates (Boo!) We're thinking lots about you and your family right now and wanted to send our love and a pirate joke your way...
What do you get when you cross a pirate with a librarian?
Cap'n Book!
We hope you get lots more good snacks and cool stickers tomorrow.
We'll be thinking about you!
love, Arrgh Annie & GRRR Grover
Ahoy Ben - Way to hang in there! Glad to hear they're treating your well giving you lots of choices. Just like Arnie and Grover, we have way more cowboys than pirates in Phoenix, as least that we know of. Maybe there is a secret sect of pirates planning to take over the city...I'll keep you posted.
Read any good pirate books lately? I heard "1001 Pirate Things to Spot" by Rob Lloyd Jones is a must read for pirate fans.
Here's a joke from our son Jeff. What's a pirate's favorite basketball move? Jump hook.
Much love,
Dave and Ginger Baron
Hi Ben,
I heard you did great with your new medicine yesterday and it looks like you've been making new friends at the hospital. Your Aunt Mego said you get to go home soon. I bet it will be fun to go home and play with your own toys. Here's another joke for you:
Knock Knock
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Who's there?
Ben
Ben Who?
Been knocking so long, my hand hurts!
Kinda silly, huh? You should start a sticker-book with all the cool stickers they give you there. I bet your friends at school would like to see them.
Take care big guy-
Shannon
Hey Ben:
I don't know any Pirate jokes, but Ian has been telling me Halloween jokes since Halloween.
Why is the skeleton afraid of the Haunted house?
Because he doesn't have any guts.
:)
Eat all that applesauce, buddy.
love,
Michelle & the Nebraska boys
Ben:
Howdy Ben; see you later today (with a SURPRISE in hand).

Hey Ben!
This is your Aunt Meg O's friends again, writing from the cold, cold state of Alaska. We may not have pirates, but we have reindeer and pretty impressive snowmen that I know you would love.
Your Aunt Meg O keeps me updated and I am so happy to hear that your treatment went well. You are such a stong one, Ben!
Pirate Joke of the Day:
Q Why couldn't the pirate graduate from first grade?
A: Because, he only knew on letter..."ARRRRRRR!"
Much, much love,
Jill
Hi Ben,
This is Auntie Mego's soccer driver from when she was little, Mrs. Marc-Aurele.
Why do pirates like treasure? Because it spARRRRRRRRkles.
I'm praying that you have a special pirate angel with you and I bet he's invisible.
Please say, "HI" to your brother Sean. Lots of love from Phoenix
