TODAY...I DID IT!!

13 months old and guess what???

I did it!!

I rolled from: My back TO my stomach ...AND...then I rolled to my BACK again!!

I got a little stuck and my mom wanted to help me SO bad, but she refrained..My whole family was cheering me on and I finally did it...Today was a great day!!

Huge, HUGE, H-U-G-E accomplishment for me!

I'm moving forward...each and every day..we keep the faith and keep moving forward.

Love you!

PS: I have 1 bottom tooth that has poked through and I have one more SO close to breaking through...I love to bite anything I can get ahold of. It's so awesome!

About Me

Hi friend! My name is Benjamin. I was born on 12/4/2010 - 8 weeks premature. I am very "unique" as I have a 9/14 chromosomal translocation. Basically what that means is that my chromosome #9 has a "deletion" and my chromosome #14 has a "duplication." We are not "sure" what this translocation really means longterm for me and I have been told that there are no "documented" cases of people like me, so essentially, I am "WRITING MY OWN STORY." My goal in doing this story is to offer hope and words of encouragement to other families in a similar situation and also to find other people that may be like me. More than once, it has been asked "how" my translocation happened. My parents figure it happened...On purpose..God doesn't make accidents, ever. I am here for a specific reason; I have been created complete and perfect, just the way that I am. Thank you for joining me on my totally amazing journey of life (that I take at "my" own pace!!)

A Heart FULL of Thanksgiving...

I am so thankful for the love and support that I continue to get everyday from my awesome family and friends. I appreciate
your unwaivering faith in my wellness!

The title of my blog ("benwriteshisownstory") was actually "inspired" by the medical professionals that have helped me. I am very grateful for all of the Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Specialists, Surgeons, and Staff that have medically treated me along my journey.
