Rhonda,

Oh Loving one, I'm certainly praying for Ben that God will give the doctors
wisdom how to do this surgery and get him well as soon as possible. I'm
also praying for you. I understand what you are going through.

If you want to talk, please know you can call me.

Love and Blessings.
Pat Ferguson
