MRI results

Okay so we got some bad news today. Ben's tumor has gotten larger and a second tumor has developed. The second tumor is also inoperable. Thats about all the information I have right now. Big Ben and I are meeting with the oncologist tomorrow to come up with a game plan. We are home now. Please don't take it personal if we can't take phone calls or call you back for the next few days we have lots to do. We will keep the blog updated to keep you in the loop. Thank you for all your kinds words and prayers, keep them coming!!

Love always

The Sarrat Family,
I am saddened to hear of Ben’s results and am praying hard for him and your family. Although I have not posted on Ben’s blog before, I’ve always kept Ben and your family in my thoughts and always in my prayers. The journey that Ben and your family have been on is nothing short of awe-inspiring courage. I enjoy reading his awesome adventures (and jokes) and even though we have not met…as many other people/parents I know who also may have not met you and your family – they are so many of us praying for Ben and are right there with you…sending more courage your way!
God Bless!

erin,
So sorry to hear about the MRI, we want you to know that we are praying and pulling for Little Ben. Know what ever decision you & the doctors make will surely be the right one.
We love you all and will continue to pray for that miracle.

Uncle Ralph and Aunt Shirley

Ahoy Ben,

So are you in the mood for some jokes? There's not a theme...just thought these might make you smile. =)

Where do horses live?
In neigh-borhoods!

What is a caterpillar scared of?
A dogerpillar!

What did one shooting star say to the other?
Pleased to meteor!

OK, maybe that last one wasn't really that funny but stay tuned for more jokes!

Adios amigos!
Love you!
Dave and Ginger

It is so hard to post anything that isn't overly wrought. I want you to know, however, that there are many, many folks just on the other side of "family" that wish y'all both the best and the miraculous for ben. Thank you for being so generous with your faith and everything else.
