Dear Sally,

Benjamin and Kristi Update

Our family would like to thank each and everyone of you for your continued prayers and support. We are overwhelmed with the generosity and kindness that has been bestowed upon our family. This has definitely been a faith Building experience for all of us. 

Trenton is doing great! He transitioned from the hard cast to a removable splint cast. He is now out of those splints and off of all restrictions. He is beginning to gain his strength back and has no pain. God is good!

Benjamin is now almost 4 weeks out of surgery. His post-op appointment went great. The doctor said that the surgery went well and the repair looks good. He has no numbness or tingling, which is great! 

The pain was intense for a few days. He was not able to take the pain meds, they just did not agree with him. God‘s grace got him through, he is definitely glad to have that part behind him. Thank you for your prayers and financial support--that has taken tremendous stress off Ben's heart and mind. He will start physical therapy twice a week right after the holidays. 

Sleeping is definitely a challenge and being so restricted has been extremely difficult for Ben and continues to be. Your continued prayers are helpful and much appreciated!

Thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts. We hope each and every one of you have a very Merry Christmas, and a blessed, joyous New Year! Much love,

Ben and Kristi

P.S. This is a thank you note from Ben & Kristi, we'd like to add a note; He still has 5 months of recovery without being able to work to bring in an income. Lets continue to support them through this time? Thank you!!
