7/12/10 Update

Hello friends!

Just checking in. I just got off the phone with Ben's sister Nicole and she filled me in on whats going on with Ben. His short term memory is showing small signs of improvement. He remembered that his sister Steph had visited him in the morning, and was asking where she was and when she was going to return! He's still pretty confused as to what happened to him, but he's starting to realize that he does have an injury. He still wants to leave really bad though.

In other good news, he's been eating a lot more, and get this...he's allowed to have Dr. Pepper!!! We all know how much he loves that stuff, and apparently he drank three cans in a row, hahaha! Being able to drink that made him very happy. So if anyone want's to bring him some Dr. Pepper, I'm sure it will lift his spirits! Apparently his hearing is improving as well! Ben's father said he doesn't have to get right up to Ben's ear to talk to him anymore, so that's great news! Also, the swelling behind his head and his ears is starting to go down as well. All in all, he continues to improve medically every day!

A lot of people have been asking how to make out the checks to donate to Ben's account in Milford. If you want to write a check, just make it out to FBO Ben Garceau. Here's the address again in case you missed it:

TD Bank
57 South St
Milford, NH 03055
Benefit for Ben Garceau
c/o Lacey Sayward

That's all for now, stay tuned for further updates!

Love,

Dana
