Just got the results back from the MRI and all is well! His condition is still undiagnosed but he is doing well and getting healthier every day with a combination of diet and osteopathy treatments. Thank you for all the Ben love!

OH YEAH! Hurray! This is Mondo Beyondo News!

Posted by: Femi Yost at March 26, 2010 04:39 AM

I was so relieved to see the words "Ben Update" and read that big scary things have been ruled out. We're going through something similar with my nephew. Not getting a firm diagnosis is so frustrating. That's a lot like life, eh: no firm diagnosis on much of anything!

I adore the photo. I can see in his face the thoughtful man with the penetrating gaze he will be when he's in his mid-to-late 40s. I can almost see the weathered, grizzled skin. It is a gaze that will make some special woman feel blessed and challenged to her toes, and make his children feel seen and deeply known.

All blessings to your family, and congratulations on the entry of the newest member onto the scene (even though not visible to us yet)! I look forward to getting to know him or her in the pages of your blog in days and years to come.

Aww. He's so cute I could gobble him up. Glad to hear that the MRI results were good. Hard still for you guys with his condition undiagnosed but we put some good energy out there for him today -- into the universe. So, perhaps, soon the universe will have some more answers for you.
take care.

Posted by: carey at March 24, 2010 07:52 AM

SO glad to hear this. I've been through the undiagnosed thing with neurologists, and they may not give you the answer you want. You are so intuitively doing a good combo, and not waiting like i did for so many years. It must be harrowing, lots of love beamed your way

Posted by: gizella at March 23, 2010 08:13 PM

This is such wonderful news! And congratulations on the pregnancy! I'm so filled with joy for you and your family. I want to tell you what a great experience my Mondo Beyondo class was for me, and though I'm still working on my courage, I feel like it will come. And one of my steps to that end was leaving comments on the blogs I read, so I'm already on my way!

Also, I got a superhero necklace for Christmas and LOVE it. I'll be ordering one for my sister for her college graduation soon too!

Much love. xo

Posted by: Anja at March 23, 2010 12:30 PM

Andrea, very happy to know that little Ben is doing well. He is so CUTE. Nothing is better than when the kids are alright!! (My youngest is 19)

I started reading your blog before he was born. Although I haven't lately, I will start up again reading some of the ones I haven't been to in a while.

You have been very inspirational along the way and I have entered into many different paths and links that I may not have otherwise seen.

I love your energy and hope to see what your Mondo Beyondo class is all about ... maybe the next round.

Congratulations on your new pregnancy!!

Posted by: Cindy at March 23, 2010 12:19 PM

Such a beautiful boy. Kids are resilient...moms, not so much. So take care of yourself the way you take care of him, k?

Oh this is such good news!
I suppose this is the way of the blog world... never meeting in person, but feeling a connection, nonetheless.
*Yay for a healthy Ben and a happy mom and dad*
Be well always.
