Update - August 27th at 12:15 p.m.

Travis has posted an update to his Web site, so please visit "Bennett's Site" (in the top of the right column) to read it.

When you read this, please say a special prayer for Bennett's lungs. The medicine they began administering last night is not working yet. The best outcome for Bennett is that this medicine helps open his lungs and begins fighting through the infection. They've already given him two doses, and based on Travis' report, they can only give him one more. So, please pray that this medicine works!

As today marks one full week that Bennett has been alive and has been fighting this infection, let's remember to say a special prayer for Travis, Kelly, and the families. I'm sure Travis is suffering from fatigue, even though Bennett is giving him the adrenaline to stay awake. I'm also sure that today is a tough day for Travis, as he's at work instead of in the NICU. Although Kelly is doing well, she still needs prayers for continued healing. We also need to pray that God will give her emotional strength as she cares for and worries about Bennett. Finally, many of the family members had to return home yesterday. I'm sure it will be a hard week since they'll be apart from Travis, Kelly, and their little fighter. So, let's pray for their emotional strength and peace as well. For those that are able to stay at the hospital, let's pray that they'll be able to support Travis and Kelly this week, but let's also pray that they'll be able to deal with their own emotions.

Verse for the moment: "The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace." - Psalm 29:11
