update on benjamin

Benjamin is AMAZING!!! He was abruptly taken off ECMO almost two weeks and continues to hold his own. He is fighting a very hard fight, too. Tomorrow, he is scheduled for surgery to correct a serious condition – Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

We are thinking of this little guy and his family all the time. CDH is a very serious condition and involves a long journey to recovery. Continue to fight hard, Ben. We have seen your surprises, and have no doubt you have many more!

  2. This is Benjamin's mommy and daddy....he is doing pretty well after his CDH repair. We feel really blessed to have Christine, James, Lilah and Ellis in our lives...they have made our journey with Benjamin easier to handle. They have really helped us out tremendously as a great source of support and we thank God for having them as our friends. We continue to be amazed by Ellis each day, he is so adorable, and his eyes are unbelievable. Love you little buddy!!
