All about Ben



Benjamin turned 3 last April. He has had 2 episodes where he just calapses and falls to the ground and is completely limp for a few minutes. So we had to have an EEG test to see if it will show what's going on. We haven't heard back from the test yet, but he did such a great job laying still for so long and following their tests. We couldn't bring all the kids back with us so we took some pictures so they could see what went on. Soon he was back to picking and eating black rasperries! A trip to Children's Hospital is very humbling, and causes my heart to weep. There are so many families that struggle and have such hardships, it brings out thankful hearts in all of us. Yet we pray we have a heart of 2 Corinthians 12:9,10: "And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
He hasn't had any more episode to date, but we're still keeping a close eye on him!
