Benny Update

CAR BUTT,that's my problem today. Eliza, Lily, Asa, and I just spent 3 nights in Warwick giving Nana Madeline a much needed rest and had a wonderful time with Sahna (Asa calls her Santa). Eddie, Noah, and Maria joined us and we had a "cousin fest". It was a nice distraction for us all, and we laughed with the kids. Eddie and Eliza put Sahna's new slide up on her new swing set. Sahna is just so cute and funny.
Beth and Benny are both in better spirits today(Tuesday), and Benny did have a nice smile for Beth. My conversation with Beth this morning tells us that his barium xray that they did yesterday did not show anything significant. They hope to do the bronchial scope later this week. They did take out the feeding tube, and he is nursing once again. We are all anxious for the results of the scope, and perhaps Benny will finally get to go home next week.
Mary and Walt had a wonderful visit with Beth yesterday. Beth's old friend Kim from Cohoes has been a wonderful friend and comes in the evening and whenever she can. One of the tasks that I would like to accomplish is a daily partner for Beth to help with Benny's "heart and soul". I will email a spread sheet with the current schedule. Anyone out there who can fill some of the slots is welcome to contact me.
I will post pictures of Sahna and our visit in the next update. To those who received it, Mary sent out a great email...well said!
