Hey
Jennifer, Tom, Eli, and Ben....Just wanted to let you guys know that you
have been and continue to be in my heart and mind....Whenever I think of
you, I pray to God for all of you. Great to hear that Ben's counts are
good...It is such a gift from God to know that He truly is in charge and
has His own plan. I am praying that God will continue to give you all
exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. You are examples of
God's all sufficient grace and His power being made perfect through
human weakness...Hang on....May His strength continue to carry you...I
know many lives are being changed through all of this....in Kingdom
ways!!!! God's blessings to you all!!

Hey guys:
I am so glad that your day went well and the news was all good. I am
sorry that I didn't get to spend time with Eli. Blakelee woke up sleepy
eyed saying....I thought you were going to take care of Eli....but it
sounds like he probably had a much better day with you and ben and all
the cameras...and the zoo. I hope it wasn't as crowded as your last
trip. I will call you to get an update on your needs. I have been called
for possible jury duty starting Monday. I'll let you know. Sleep tight
tonight..another day..another prayer answered. Your still on
course..God's plan is unfolding.

Even
though yesterdays news was great. The everyday pain Ben has breaks my
heart. He puts on such a big smile to spite his discomfort. Big Ben is a
warrior. I hope and pray his battle is soon over and victory is right
around the corner so he can go home and resume a normal child hood. This
is one of my daily prayers for him. Hold him tight for us who cannot and
tell him he is loved by people who have never touched him. But are able
to touch his life with prayer. May you all find comfort and peace during
these discomfortable time. Love to you all.

Hello Tom
and Jennifer We want you to know that we are praying and believing along
with you. We Thank God for answering prayers on the the 4th. So keep on
believing and trusting in God.... He answered one when my daughter was
pregant with my grandson. The tests showed that it was a very high
chance that he would be born with trisomy 18 and if so he wouldn't live
to be a year old, the dr. wanted her to do more testing and to abort him
but thank God she didn't ..We have a very beauitful little three year
boy with down syndrome .So you see God answered my prayer Because he is
still with us and a very happy healthy little boy ,he is our miracle and
blessing from God...Jennifer was my grandson Christophers speech ther.
until he turned three so I got to know Jennifer very well she is a
wonderful person. So we know God answers prayers today!!! and we believe
right along with you and will keep on praying for your little boy and
your family...Betty

hi. just
wanted to encourage you to talk to your Father today. i know it is so
easy when life happens that as we talk about it to others, we kind of
forget to talk to our Father about it. it's almost like we "forget" we
haven't. at least, that's what happens with me sometimes...more than i
like. so as the little and big occur throughout today, take each and
every one to Father first. that's what i'm trying to do...i luv u guys a
bunch and so miss you. believing too.

Mike and
Christine Emerson told us when Ben's problems first showed up and we
have prayed for your family, but didn't know how Ben was doing until
Mike sent us word today of Ben's Story. I am so touched by the amount of
love surrounding Ben. I know if we had eyes to see the "full" family
album that Jesus's face would be prominent in every photo, gazing with
tender delight at Ben, Eli, and at his devoted Mommy and Daddy. I just
wanted you to know I care and I pray God's presence will continue to
sustain you as you walk through each day trusting in his mercy, love,
and plan for your lives.

Hi, I am
a gramma to a young boy named Judah Dombach who tomorrow will be
celebrating his victory of God's healing in his life from acute
myelogenous leukemia. He got sick 2 years ago in April when he was
almost 2 and he is 4 today! His parents, Deb and Eric, learned ALOT, as
you have, about the power of persistent, persevering powerful prayer and
prayer warriors. Judah has 3 siblings, Jeremiah (8), Hannah (7), and
Josiah (3). We all went through quite an ordeal with chemo and bone
marrow transplant (from his oldest brother) but GOD WAS/FAITHFUL THROUGH
IT ALL and remains so. Judah has had excellent counts recently in his
checkups and doctors are amazed. I will give my daughter this website to
look at. It is a blessing to me. They also made a website that I'm not
sure of its address so I'll let Deb tell you. Thank you for sharing your
story with so many people. I'll pray for Ben and Eli and both of you. In
Him, Linda

Hi Bowen
family. Just want to let you know I have been following your story. I
found out about you thru my daughter. She got acquainted with Joy M.
during basketball season this year at CHS. Joy is a beautiful young lady
who sets a wonderful example for my daughter. I found out that I knew
her father from our high school days. I believe with you that God can
take care of Ben and give you the strength to get thru this ordeal. I am
praying for you several times a day and placing you in God's loving
care. You will never know how many lives Big Ben has touched during the
last few months. I will keep checking on you and praying for all of you.

Just
wanted to say Hi and let you all know that my thoughts and prayers are
with you. Don't let your faith fail. It will help you get through it. It
is so hard to watch our children when they are ill or hurt. I know I
always wished that I could myself in their place when something hurt
them. May God Bless you always.

Hi Ben
and family! I saw a flyer for Ben the other day while in Huntington (my
hometown). I am the Regional Manager of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of
Southern West Virginia and I don't know if you know anything about
Make-A-Wish but we grant wishes to children between the ages of 2 1/2 to
18 with life-threatening medical conditions. I know Ben isn't yet old
enough but we KNOW he will be and would like to get him qualified to
receive the wish of a lifetime! I know you are currently in Memphis but
please contact me at 1-800-664-9474 (wish) and we can determine what
chapter you need to go through. My best wishes and prayers to you and
your family...

Hi tom
,jen. I hope ben is doing great with his treatment, happy to see his
cell count went back up,hope he's feeling better. I know from karley
going through this ordeal just how hard it is on the whole family, I
think the hardest thing to deal with is all the ups and downs you
experience. Im very impressed with how many people truley care about the
well being of someone elses child. many many people from bens story from
WV, ohio, ca, mo and all over the country has touched base with wendy
and mike on behalf of karley, we have also told alot of people about
bens story. karley went in a coma yesterday and is not doing well, I
pray along with thousands of others that these children make it through
this terrible ordeal they are going through. wendy and mike are taking
it one day at a time. I sure pray you all have a reason for celebration
by beating this sickness. Again I thank the Bowen family and "ALL" ther
friends for the prayers and true concern for my little karley,From all
of us in karleys family we're praying for little ben e

you all everyday, each time i look at Karley. I wish this was not
happening to any of us. It just shouldn't happen peroid! Karley went in
to a deep comma yesterday after her emergency suregy. (van-trick) Im
running out of time to meet any protocols. Please pray for us. Thank you
so much. Oh yeah ...I hugged Karley for Ben. Hopefully one day they will
