As I type this, we are still in the hospital. This is day 7 and we know it is not the last one. I could list ALL the reasons why we are still here; all the symptoms, all the blood levels, and all the medications, but its exhaustive and doesn’t help with the reality that we are still here and he still needs to be here. I am working on getting all the necessary assistance and support so he can be comfortable at home, which is the top priority for both of us.
Please pray:
That a pain management plan can be put in place that reduces his discomfort.
For supernatural comfort, peace, strength and perseverance for all four of us.
I also wanted to let everyone know that reads this that our family is so grateful for the generosity we have experienced from so many of you. I tell the boys all the time how blessed we are with all the people that love, support and pray for us all the time. Our gym communities have really shown up for us and I wanted you all to have access to the ways they are supporting us.
First, Ben’s gym in Tennessee, Crossfit Combustion organized a T-shirt fundraiser. If you missed the first round of orders, here is the link to order. If you get one, please consider sending me a selfie or family picture with you wearing it. These photos have brought me great joy.
Lastly, friends at our gym here, Rayzor Ranch Crossfit, are organizing a Ruck (walk with weighted vest) in honor of Ben. Ben had planned on doing a 12 mile Ruck with his Crossfit buddies a few weeks ago but wasn’t able to do it due to the complications in his lungs. If you are local and want to participate, the details are included in the graphic on the Support Page . If you aren’t local, feel free to Ruck that day wearing your Never Settle shirt and support from afar.
