Well..the boys didn't get to see Ben yet! I felt bad for them and I am not sure when that will happen. I really can't imagine how tiny he was at 3lb. 3 oz. because he weighed 4 lb. 5 oz. tonight and I simply couldn't believe he could be so tiny yet so perfect. I think he looks like Jer, and when Jer would get down by him and say, "It's your daddy.", he would open his little eyes. I just watched with tears of gratitude streaming down my cheeks as I looked at Ben and Andrea.
Before I got to see him we just got here and took Jake to baseball practice, then we had a 7:00 stake conference meeting where Jer's ward was the Bishopric that had to present how a ward council is suppose to happen. He looks so tired. I know that he isn't sleeping well for the short hours he spends at home. It is always hard for mom's to watch their kids struggle, but as I watched him carry on with his church responsibilities, I couldn't help but think this is the reason we have seen miracles. I am kind of having a hard time not crying. We have a long way to go with Ben, but because of his goodly parents, somehow I am blessed with an overwhelming peace that all will be well.
I am so very thankful for my testimony and the peace it brings to me.
This time we are able to be in McAllen to help. It will be such a happy day when Ben get's to come home!
