On the News

Our sweet Ben was on the news on Saturday night. You can read ABC 4 News blog about it here: http://www.abc4.com/news/local/story/Marti-Skold-Faces-of-Hope/wvvGQq44TkO1Fxs-eUX9bQ.cspx

Ben continues to do really well. His nausea is all but gone, and he works hard every day with his different therapies. We are running here and there, and when not doing that we are working at home with the different things the therapists want us to do. It is busy, but completely worth it because of all the progress that Ben has been making. He is getting stronger and stronger all the time. We still have a long way to go with his eating and speaking, but he is slowly improving in those areas as well.

Ben has also started going back to church and is loving it! He thinks Sacrament Meeting is pretty boring, but he loves primary and has a fabulous teacher. He always has a big smile on his face when we pick him up from his primary class each week.

So, only good things to report this time around. We hope this post finds all of you well and happy.

Much love,
Jerry, Jana, Ben, and the gang

The Happiest Day of Ben's Life




We recently returned from Ben's wish trip to Disney World meet Winnie the Pooh and all the friends of the Hundred Acre Wood. To say Ben had the time of his life would be an understatement! (And this is one little boy who deserved it!) We wish you could have been there to see it in person, but hopefully these pics will give you a glimpse of how wonderful it was. We are so grateful to Make-A-Wish of Utah, our sponsor, and Give Kids the World in Florida for everything they did to make our vacation the most wonderful week we have ever spent together as a family.
