The Stear family is finally back home in Pennsylvania!!

Dawn, Mason, and good friend Marianne survived their long road trip and arrived home safely on Sunday afternoon. Ben and Ken enjoyed the view from a Lear Jet and landed at the North East Philly airport on Monday around noon.

Ben is happy to be back in Pa and is adjusting to his new surroundings at Shriners Hospital.

He is looking forward to visitors and can't wait to see everyone. Although the "official" visiting hours are from 8am - 8pm, Ben will be very busy with Physical and Occupational Therapy during the day.

The best time for him to receive visitors is after dinner from 6-8 pm. No need to call first -- any day is fine! He'll be thrilled to show off his new skills ... consistently moving his right thumb and the "flicker" (small movement) in his left pointer finger -- Way to go Ben!!!
