Several years ago, I worked as an neuropsych student at one of the hospitals where Ben was doing rehab. I saw the two of you working together in therapy one day and have followed your blog ever since. Your strength, love, tenderness, tenacity, and commitment continue to inspire me. I now work as a nurse on a cardiac floor and hope that I can do the work I love with even half the passion that you, Katie, have shown over the years. <br /><br />I am deeply moved by your faith in God and the strength you draw from Him. Although we're strangers, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish both you all the best and hope you know just how inspiring your love for one another can be. Thank you for reminding us all what love really means.

Your heart is amazing. I have occasionally checked back on your blog and pray for you and for Bens continued healing. From your vulnerability in sharing on here I have been SO SO encouraged. God is good! Sometimes love looks different, and that's ok. Sometimes it's not about us, and that's ok. I cannot even tell you how profound your testimony is. You go girl! You rock. The Jesus in you ROCKS. <br /><br />Love and Prayers, <br />Casey from Floridacaseyallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09214893542237370373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090277881332820433.post-8365550080756548652013-07-04T08:38:43.745-07:002013-07-04T08:38:43.745-07:00We need an update!

I am praying continual refreshing and grace. I ran across your blog while doing a google search for something else, but feel like I need to share some encouragement. I really feel like the Holy Spirit is saying to keep believin' and not to give up. To keep pursuing the full healing for Ben and to know that when you come out of this time it will be like when the Jews plundered Egypt--your hands, your hearts, your lives will be full. There is a fullness of life and promise that He has for you that is more than you can imagine...Do not stop hoping, contending and believin' (yes, I actually heard believin' rather than believing).<br />Here is to a miraculous 2013 for both of you. A year of fresh starts, and new beginnings! That you would feel His presence like you have never felt it before, and be surrounded with His love and comfort!

I love reading about Ben's progess. I love reading about all that you're up to Katie. You both are an amazing inspiration. I see your love clearly displayed in every photo, and with every word. My husband and I are both very active individuals and we know how Ben must want to be out running/biking and just having an wild, crazy adventure. We pray that he'll enjoy some of those activities in the future. Keep loving one another. Know that you both have made a huge impact on our lives.

Was a 45 minute drive to the hospital from hell. After a long day he opened his eyes and actually recognized me, finaly I could breathe again. His injury was not as severe as Ben's and thankfully he is doing very well today. Still has some anger issues but soon realizes he over reacted. But those are getting farther apart now. But having traveled this road I know that any improvement is a step in the right direction. We are proud of you Ben and know you will get better. It will be a long road but you are strong and will do it. When you are feeling stronger you might want to play some word games like scrabble and boggle as they helped my son very much. God bless you and your beautiful wife.
