Blessed With Benjamin

We have been richly blessed
with Benjamin in our lives
Active, mischievous, loving,
yes, that's our little guy

One minute he is naughty
messing up the house, and
You know he's into something
when he's quiet as a mouse

The next minute he comes running
and he's wanting a great big hug
Wraps his arms around you tightly
and you know that you are loved

Yes we have been richly blessed
with this beautiful little boy
Our Benjamin is our special gift
who brings to our lives great joy

Welcome to Ben's page.
It has been created to keep
our family and friends up to date.
Ben was diagnosed with albinism
in October, 2002. We later learned his biggest
challenge would be a cerebellar astrocytoma, a
small brain tumor, diagnosed in May, 2003.



Ben is currently doing well.
He has had no surgery or treatment.
He gets an MRI every three months
and so far, the tumor remains stable.
At the point when it starts to grow,
it will have to be removed.

It's been a year since I last updated. Ben is doing well. He is a very active first grader and loves being outside. He hasn't had an MRI in 1-1/2 years, and everything has been stable for a long time. He likes to say he has "the good kind of brain tumor."

He is always up to his SuperFly antics and has had a few more stitches, bumps and bruises along the way, but without that, he wouldn't be Ben. He is quite a unique young man.
