So we finally got to see Dr Velez today, yeah!!!! We love Dr Velez and hate the rotation system here - its stupid! But we talked with Dr Velez today and she thinks Ben is doing great. She is more worried about his nourishment than his breathing at this point. Because of the loss of his swallow reflex we can't let him drink thin liquids or crunchy foods so he's on a soft think diet so he doesn't aspirate. And he is not a big fan of the thickened liquids - so she wants to make sure we can get into him what he needs otherwise we will need a feeding tube.
So it looks like we will probably be here till Tuesday getting those things worked out. But he he is doing good so thats okay we will watch the SAINTS game tomorrow and scream really load no matter where we are, home or here! Ben is off oxygen and tomorrow they are taking him off IV and we will see how he does.
We'll let you know when there is more news. Sorry for the brief updates but Mr demanding is addicted to computer games now so I have to wrestle it away from him in order to post!

Ahoy Ben,
We've been having this song go through our heads today and wanted to share it with you...ask your mom or dad to share the melody...
Oh when those Saints,
Oh when those Saints,
Oh when those Saints come marching in...
They’re going to blast the MN Vikings
Oh when those Saints come marching in!
Today is the big game and we will be rooting for the Saints.
From reading your mom's entry it looks like you're not letting up on wanting the computer, so here are a few more computer jokes...
When does a computer need shoes?
When it's reBooting!
Why was the computer so cold?
It forgot to close it's WINDOWS!
What did the spider create when he was inside the computer?
The World Wide Web!
A kid went on Cats.com. What happened to the computer mouse?
The homepage ate it!
Please give your grandma Judy a big birthday kiss from us on Saturday!
Adios amiogs!
Love you!
Dave & Ginger

Hi ben,
Glad to hear you are coming home on Tuesday.It sure sounds like you can handle those shakes and smoothies, your mom is probably jealous she can't have thAt diet. Hey now that Grandma is coming to town this week and it is her birthday, We won't tell you which one it is, but a "little big one." I think you need to take her out to lunch for a smoothie or to the dollar store, since she won't be home here where I can do it. Love ya big guy and we wiil be routing one more time for those SAINTS. I know they can do it with your support.
Love ya
Aunt Shirley
