Hanging in There

Ben is still hanging in there and fighting. His breathing has gotten extremely shallow. He is very in and out now and we do not know how much longer he will be conscious. We will try to keep everyone posted as we go.

My heart aches for all of you. I have no words to tell you how sad I feel. I have been reading Ben's blog for about a year now and keeping up with his fight. Sending love, hugs, and prayers.

Hi Ben,
Reading your blog so often, you surely are the most adventureous little pirate we know and we think about and pray for you and your family each day.

Connor just had a visit to the doctor last week and they had to stick his elbow with a HUGE needle and he said "NO WAY" because he was way too scared. He fought really hard and said he didn't want to do it at all! We tried everything to calm him down but nothing worked...until we reminded Connor just how brave you are Ben! In less than a minute Connor calmed down and stuck out his elbow and turned his head away and said "DO IT"! I hope it's ok that Connor borrowed some of your AwEsOmE pIrAtE bRaVeRy because we know you have tons!

All of our thoughts and prayers are with you Ben!

Love,
The Richoux Family
