Ben is resting quietly now. He has had one blood transfusion and one platelet transfusion to try and bring his blood counts back some. They just started another 4 hour transfusion and then he will have more fluids and morphine. The doctors are planning more transfusions for the morning to try and get his counts up.
Ben is still waking up and looking around and answering questions with his eyes but quit trying to speak earlier today.
Hopefully after all of this blood he will come back around a little bit, but we just don't know.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been helping us the last few months and days when it has been really hard. We truly appreciate it.
