Update on Ben

This is an update for our boy Ben.

Thank you to everyone who prayed for us and our whole family. It has been a chaotic week and I will not tell you I felt peace the whole time. I did however feel everyone's prayers and knew that whatever happened God was still God. I was reminded that He never gets tired or cranky. Reminded in my imperfectness He is always perfect.

On Wednesday night Ben came home with swelling on the inside of his right knee. We weren't sure if it was maybe broken, a infection, or just what. We knew whatever it was he would either be better or the same in the morning.

Thursday- We took him to the pediatrician where we were then sent to St. Francis Day Hospital. We spent the day there running all sorts of test. We found out that he had a cyst on his knee.

We had a appointment on Monday to see a Ortho Surgeon. God gave us grace with a very cranky surgery schedule for a Tuesday surgery.

I need to add, at this point we were a little concerned because we had heard this kind of cyst was somewhat abnormal. So the sooner the better with scheduling.

Tuesday- The surgery went as well as it possible could. He went under well and the doctor was able to get the cyst and it looked normal. It has been sent of to pathology but, we think that should be fine.

Thursday- Pathology report back cyst is benign.

My family was blessed by everyone that helped with the other three kids and by everyone that lifted us up in prayer. It is at moment like this we are reminded once again at how precious our little ones are. I was thankful to have the time with just my Ben to lay next to him and take care of him. All you moms with several kids know what I mean. It was a precious time and I am relieved it is over.
