The biopsy

It is 9:45am and Ben is out of surgery. The biopsy went well. The preliminary results of the biopsy confirmed the doctor's suspicions that Ben was suffering from a higher grade tumor most likely a glioblastoma. Now we are just waiting for the final results of the biopsy which we will not receive until next week. We also will not know the exact course of action until after tumor board. Please once again keep all of us in your prayers. We don't know exactly what this journey is going to hold for us in the next couple of months and we just ask that you keeping praying for us to have the strength to deal with whatever may come.

Go Packers! Eamon and I will be rooting for those guys tonight, I know Ben will be too.

Ben, I came across the picture of us snowboarding in Whistler together; what a great time we had! (Besides Kirstin's broken wrist)

Thanks for the blog Kistin, you're amazing and giving us all strength and hope.

Thinking of you all and love you so much.
