Ready for the BEST NEWS EVER? Benji is back!

His intubation tube was removed early this morning and he is very carefully and cautiously “waking up”. We are overwhelmed and relieved and so happy!

I got to spend a half hour with him today and it really is remarkable. He’s one tough dude and we’re counting down until he’s playing drums on upside-down hospital bowls ⚡️

But here’s the thing about Benji: he isn’t one to ask for help.

In fact, the last thing he wants to do is inconvenience anyone at his expense but, funnily enough, he’s always willing to help everyone else whenever he gets the chance.

So, I’m going to go ahead and ask for help for him, because Benji is going to need a lot of love and support as he continues to recover. We’re not sure what it’s going to look like and we’re all just taking it one minute at a time.

That said, if you are able to contribute to the GoFundMe (link in bio), any little bit would be so appreciated.

I have asked Kate (Ben’s sister) to raise the goal to $20k, so that finances are one less thing to worry about right now. If you have donated or shared or sent good vibes our way, thank you! It means so much.

On a day like today, I am reminded that life is a gift and I am so grateful Benji is still here with us!
