Not the standard Christmas card with color coordinated outfits and a stress-free perfect life representation but this selfie is certainly a bit more authentic. 

On January 11, Ben reached his 100-day transplant milestone. He will have lumbar puncture and bone marrow procedure done. Trusting for positive results and continuation to full health.

The Day 100 is a milestone that many stem cell transplant recipients consider the turning point in their recovery. That’s when the greatest risk for critical side effects is past and when the stem cells have engrafted and begun making new blood cells. 

Thank you to everyone who continues to keep Ben and the Cross family in your thoughts and prayers. We know that there is still a long road ahead until full remission, but for now, let us celebrate these 100 days. #strongasacross
