"It's a tumor"


The pictures show a mass about 6cm by 8cm (baseballish in size) in the upper left front of Ben's brain. It is sitting on the brain and looks accessible. Then plans started. Providence Hospital immediately arranged for transport for Cari and Ben to Seattle Children's Hospital.

Dad headed home and packed mom a bag. Dad's lack of fashion sense was immediately obvious because I don't think I got even one outfit correct, but at least there was clean underwear . . .
Dad and siblings headed up to the hospital Tuesday night for kisses and hugs. It is all still a little surreal. The siblings all loved on Ben for a while then Dad took kids home to go to bed.
