Update - August 28th at 9:30 a.m.

Travis posted an update on Bennett's site this morning, so please read it by clicking "Bennett's Site" at the top of the right column.

Let's pray today for the reduction of Bennett's infection. He's hanging in there, but he's still a very sick boy. So, pray that he will be healed of his infection.

Let's also pray for the two other babies in the NICU that are seriously ill as well. One is Peter, who seems to be doing a bit better, and the other is the baby girl whose outlook doesn't look good right now. Let's pray that God meets the physical, mental, and emotional needs of these babies and their families both today and in the future.

Finally, let's remember to page Travis and Kelly after we offer prayers on their behalf. It's so encouraging to them to know that we're thinking about them and lifting them up. I know that the uncertainty of last week made the pages seem more urgent, but they're still just as meaningful and important. So, let's continue to page them throughout the day today after we offer prayers on their behalf.

Thanks, everyone. I'll be back with updates when I have them.

Verse for the moment: "You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry..." -Psalm 10:17

I've asked all of our friends and family to pray for Bennett and will add Peter and the little girl and her family to the list. Travis and Kelly, you are such a fantastic Christian example to everyone there in the NICU. You are all being lifted up throughout the day and night so keep your faith in Him.
