NOTE: As I was writing the post below to let you know I hadn't received any updates, I got a call from Travis. So, I will leave what I had written and begin another post with the latest update from Travis. Be on the lookout for it by 10 a.m. or so.
Although I haven't yet gotten any updates this morning, I just wanted to post and thank everyone for their constant thoughts and prayers on behalf of Travis, Kelly, and Bennett. I have been uplifted and encouraged by reading through the comments on this page and the guestbook on Bennett's site, so I know that your words are even more uplifting and encouraging to Bennett, his parents, his grandparents, his aunts and uncles, and the rest of his family.
Now that everyone is probably back up and busy at the hospital, feel free to resume paging Travis and Kelly after you pray for them. Also, I'll be printing all comments on this site and Bennett's site around noon today and taking them over to the hospital. So, please leave a note letting Travis and Kelly know that you're praying for them and little Bennett. I think it would also be particularly meaningful to the grandparents, aunts, and uncles to read notes written to them as well.
As I read through all of the notes that have been left thus far, I recognize many of the names, but don't know many others. It is truly amazing how love and concern for Travis, Kelly, and Bennett is pulling so many of us together who otherwise wouldn't cross paths. It is a privilege to join you all in praying for and pulling for this sweet family.
As always, once I get a status report, I'll be sure to post it here. Thanks, and keep praying, paging, and posting!

You have been on our hearts and in our prayers throughout the night and the first thing on our mind as we woke start the day. The song Your Name keeps filtering through my head. Jeb and I have been singing those beautiful words over sweet Bennett as a prayer for him this morning. Please give our love to everyone in your family - we are lifting each of you up
We love you... M,M,& J
Your Name, is a strong and mighty tower,
Your Name, is a shelter like no other,
Your Name, let the nations sing it louder,
Cause nothing has the power to save,
But Your Name.
Erica,
I really appreciate all your efforts to keep us all updated on sweet Bennett. It is so helpful to have information and know what to pray for. You are truly an amazing friend to Travis and Kelly.
Thank you again for all you work.
God Bless you.

Travis and Kelly,
You are in our prayers as you wait with Bennett. Our son, Brian, who is Travis' age was born with problems and was very critical for several days--we know how anxious these days are. We pray for God's comfort for you and blessings for your precious little one. Our love to you and your families. Jerry and Linda Schwieger
