Out of Surgery!

Hello All

Ben is out of surgery, he is chatting up a storm. He wants Burger King and to go to the playroom! The surgeon said everything went great. It was textbook, no complications. So we are very grateful it all went well.

Thank you to everyone who came to be her with us. Grandma Judy, Grammy & Pops, Ms Jessica, Ms Jackie (angel Carl's mom), and Di Lipski (angel JJ's mom). JJ's mom came all the way from Alabama to see Ben and wait with us - I love my DIPG family!!!

More news to come, but hopefully we will be out of here in the next day or two and start radiation by the end of the week.

Thanks for all the prayers today!

Dear Brave Pirate Ben and his brave crew,

Without knowing that Ben had the go ahead for surgery, my Bible study and I prayed for you together yesterday. On Sunday, a man at church asked about you. I am so glad that all went well. We will keep praying.

Way to go Ben! Had you not requested Burger King we would have brought you a whole roasted pig.

Keep up the good fight.
