We got home yesterday afternoon. Ben's doing good , just tired. Ben do another round of chemo two weeks from today. So far so good we are still planning on starting Kindergarten on Monday. The good thing about the chemo is it seems to have slowed down the feeding frenzy! They did increase his steroids to 3 times per day so not sure how long we can hold off the feeding frenzy!!!
Ben has been having a great time with Grandpa who is in town for the week and they are planning quite a day tomorrow. Mom is going to try and work a little for the next two days since he seems to be doing great and has his grandpa to hang out with.
We will keep you posted as to how Kindergarten goes!!!!

Boy, St. Andrew school sure is lucky to have pirate Ben in their school. We'll miss sooooo much. Hope you come and visit us very, very soon. I'll need some help teaching the little ones how to read! I love you bigger than the world!!
Much love and many prayers.

Hey Ben -
I'm glad you're home and resting with your Grandpa! Make sure your uniform is all ready for school on Monday - I know it'll be a great day! Wish I were there to eat some nuggets and tots with you (with ketchup, of couse!). Miss you, Aunt Robyn
I'm glad y'all are home and Ben is doing well. Looking forward to seeing you guys at SAS.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

You guys are such an inspiration to me. We'd sure like to meet ya'll and the "Pirate" one day. My little girl, Madison, is also a patient of Dr. Velez. Looks like we just missed you. We got on 4 West on Wednesday. Maddie was DX with Osteosarcoma on March 13, 2009. 5 days after turning 5 yrs. old. Her twin brother got to start Kindergarten, but Maddie didn't get to. Hopefully she'll be able to start in November. Good Luck with the new treatment plan. You guys are in our prayers. God bless,

Hey Ben,
Just got this e-mail from Mrs. Lisa and Jim here in Myrtle Grove. How cool to hang out with your Grandpa! Kamryn is excited that you will be in her class at St. Andrew. She can't wait to see you. We are all praying for you.
Love, Mrs. Dina and Mr. David
I know that you are all really excited about today....the first day of kindergarten!! Is Grandpa still there to share in the big event? I know that Grandma is anxious to take care of things here so that she can be with you soon too. We are all thinking of you and can't wait to see pictures and start hearing about all of yur new friends!
