00:00How's Ben? Is he ready for the football season? Ben is always ready. We've had a tough offseason.
00:07He got diagnosed with, I haven't really told anybody this, but he got diagnosed with leukemia
00:13and most recently had to have an operation where they had to take a couple masses,
00:19had to open him up and took out his spleen where there was a mass and another mass on his intestine,
00:25which is a pretty big procedure when you're 10 years old. So I didn't know if we were going to
00:31lose him or what. He did not respond favorably the first three or four days, wouldn't eat,
00:37wouldn't go into the bathroom. And this was just probably two and a half weeks ago.
00:42And he's slowly kind of coming out of that state and is back to kind of taking walks and eating
00:52and wagging and kind of starting to get back to his personality. So I am praying every day for
00:59him and hoping that he's going to be okay. First of all, just to be okay. And then secondly,
01:05hope to be able to take him out on the road with me again this year.
