Miracle Minute

Here's Ben talking it up on his 2nd birthday.



On Ben's birthday, we decided to take a cake to the nurses at the NICU at St. John Hospital where Ben spent the first month of his life. We were also fortunate to meet the doctor on duty when Ben was delivered.  He started the procedure to put in Ben's trach before the surgeon arrived and was definitely one of the people who helped save Ben's life that day.  He was absolutely amazed that Ben had made it through all of this without any long-term health problems.

While we were there, one of the nurses said that Benjamin should be in a TV commercial for the hospital called "Miracle Minute".  We would get to tell Ben's story and share how the doctors and the nurses at the NICU took care of our boy.  We're scheduled to film it on the 19th of February so please pray that we're able to give glory to God and say the right things.

Oh, tears just sprang to my eyes! And then I thought of the tears I cried for you guys 2 years ago and am so thankful that the Lord has turned tears of sadness to tears of joy! God is good. Love you all so much.

What a joyful occasion for your video. It is so precious to see your little Ben talking and enjoying his special day. I also loved seeing Noel and Kay in the background. Please tell them they are still thought about in CT. So many prayers have been answered for you all and your Ben. God is really a loving father who hears his children. You don't know what an inspiration you have been to your readers. Blessings on you all.
