HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!!!

Hello All!

Well tomorrow is Ben's 6th Birthday!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Ben! The birthday they told us he probably wouldn't see. Ben is doing really well on this new treatment. Walking better everyday, down to .25mg steroids once per day, so the weight is coming off and he is feeling and moving so much better! His counts were low last week but rebounded quickly with a blood transfusion and a week off the chemo. He has a couple of soars as a result of the steroid thin skin / weight gain combo - but we caught them early and they are healing well. He is back on 1/2 chemo this week and hopefully we are back on track. Next MRI scans are scheduled for the 16th - man that month went quickly. But we are excited to see how things are going and to meet with the radiation team to discuss another round of radiation after the first of the year. So enough about the medical junk, on to the good stuff.....

Ben's Birthday!!!!!! Yes Ben has to go to school tomorrow on his birthday!! We are having cookie cake with his class, so any teachers reading this stop by the lounge I ordered the really big one so there would be left overs!!! Ben's party is Saturday, planned by a group of wonderful friends, a huge help to mommy!!! Its this Saturday at Chevron Park in Belle Chasse at noon! Hopefully invites made it out to everyone, I was a little late getting invites out so I drove them to all the kids in his classes house so they would have them...I hope I hit all the right houses! Any St Andrew's Families or Brighter Horizon's Families that didn't get an invite and want to come PLEASE COME...like I said Chevron Park - NOON - Saturday!!!

And then after the party Alabama is going to CRUSH the Gators!!!! So Ben should have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BOY!!!!!!!!

Happy,Happy Birthday Ben !!

You'll love being 6, I know I do. That cookie cake sounds great...it's my favorite!!!

I'll try and sneak over from Mrs. Mason's class; but she is like a detective and keeps a close eye on us.

We got your birthday invitation yesterday...very cute...love the pirate theme. We look forward to coming...but my mommy isn't for sure where Chevron Park is in Belle Chase exactly. Maybe ask your mommy to post the directions on your blog tomorrow for all the mommies.

You have to guess what we got you for a gift..I think you'll really like it...think Peyton Manning or Drew Brees...

C ya tomorrow,
Have a super-spectacular day !!!

Love, Julia Grace

Happy Birthday to the Miracle that is Pirate Ben!!!!! I hope that you have a wonderful time at your birthday on Saturday. I'm not sure if I posted this, but I wanted to let you know, as a lifetime Saints fan, I have been telling everyone I know the secret behind their massive success........ and that my little friend, is YOU! I just know that the visit you made to them before the Jets game and the advice you gave them then played a huge role in how well they've been doing. After all, with the Great Pirate Ben as a good luck charm, how can they go wrong!!!!!!!

Uncle Peter and Aunt Robyn said...

Happy, Happy Birthday Ben!! Hooray! I wish we could be at your party, but we will call you and let Andy and Lauren sing you happy birthday (well... that may qualify as birthday torture, but hopefully it won't be too bad)! I love you little man! Aunt Robyn
