you don’t know me, and i comment on this blog like once a year, but i read it all the time and i have been thinking of you and ben and your family and pulling for you. i’m glad you got good news.

Cath on March 23, 2010 at 11:40 AM

Oh this is such good news!
I suppose this is the way of the blog world… never meeting in person, but feeling a connection, nonetheless.
*Yay for a healthy Ben and a happy mom and dad*
Be well always.

Such a beautiful boy. Kids are resilient…moms, not so much. So take care of yourself the way you take care of him, k?

Andrea, very happy to know that little Ben is doing well. He is so CUTE. Nothing is better than when the kids are alright!! (My youngest is 19)
I started reading your blog before he was born. Although I haven’t lately, I will start up again reading some of the ones I haven’t been to in a while.
You have been very inspirational along the way and I have entered into many different paths and links that I may not have otherwise seen.
I love your energy and hope to see what your Mondo Beyondo class is all about … maybe the next round.
Congratulations on your new pregnancy!!

This is such wonderful news! And congratulations on the pregnancy! I’m so filled with joy for you and your family. I want to tell you what a great experience my Mondo Beyondo class was for me, and though I’m still working on my courage, I feel like it will come. And one of my steps to that end was leaving comments on the blogs I read, so I’m already on my way!
Also, I got a superhero necklace for Christmas and LOVE it. I’ll be ordering one for my sister for her college graduation soon too!
Much love. xo

I’m very happy to hear that Ben is doing well. Love to your family, Andrea.

gizella on March 23, 2010 at 8:13 PM

SO glad to hear this. I’ve been through the undiagnosed thing with neurologists, and they may not give you the answer you want. You are so intuitively doing a good combo, and not waiting like i did for so many years. It must be harrowing, lots of love beamed your way

amy on March 23, 2010 at 8:58 PM

wonderful news! lots of love & blessings your way now & always.

Honey on March 23, 2010 at 10:20 PM

melissa on March 24, 2010 at 6:46 AM

happy to hear that he is well. hope that you are also. and yes, there’s always mucho amor for ben.

carey on March 24, 2010 at 7:52 AM

Aww. He’s so cute I could gobble him up. Glad to hear that the MRI results were good. Hard still for you guys with his condition undiagnosed but we put some good energy out there for him today — into the universe. So, perhaps, soon the universe will have some more answers for you.
take care.

Catherine on March 24, 2010 at 7:56 AM

oh this is good news! Thank you for letting us know. I’ve been thinking of you all every day.
And um….I can hardly stand how CUTE HE IS!!!!
You must be so relieved.

That’s great news! Love his not-so-ferocious dragon claw pose in this picture 🙂 too cute!

Sunny on March 24, 2010 at 4:59 PM

We are so glad to hear it!! Also glad about him not being allergic. Celiac would not be fun.
Love you guys!

Patricia on March 24, 2010 at 8:44 PM

Andrea, This news and the photo made my heart sing. I suspect you are finding it easy to smile these days. I am happy for all of you.

I was so relieved to see the words “Ben Update” and read that big scary things have been ruled out. We’re going through something similar with my nephew. Not getting a firm diagnosis is so frustrating. That’s a lot like life, eh: no firm diagnosis on much of anything!
I adore the photo. I can see in his face the thoughtful man with the penetrating gaze he will be when he’s in his mid-to-late 40s. I can almost see the weathered, grizzled skin. It is a gaze that will make some special woman feel blessed and challenged to her toes, and make his children feel seen and deeply known.
All blessings to your family, and congratulations on the entry of the newest member onto the scene (even though not visible to us yet)! I look forward to getting to know him or her in the pages of your blog in days and years to come.
