Update - August 30th at 9:45 p.m.

Kelly has posted some updates to Bennett's site today, so please view them by clicking "Bennett's Site" at the top of the right column.

As many people are, Matt and I are leaving town tomorrow morning for the Labor Day weekend. I write that for two main reasons:

1. To let you know that updates will be sporadic at best during the next few days. During most of our trip, Matt and I will be in rural Illinois and Iowa. So, internet access won't be abundant. Feel free to come to the site as a means to link to Bennett's Site. As you can already tell, most of the status reports are coming directly from Travis and Kelly. I'm merely pointing people to their site and also reminding people of things for which we can pray and how we can support this sweet family right now. I will continue to do that when I return.

2. To encourage all of those who might also be traveling to put the prayer pager number in their cell phones. I know many of us will still be thinking about and praying for Travis and Kelly while we're on the road, so let's make sure they know that.

I pray that everyone will have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. Most of all, I pray that Bennett will continue to show signs of improvement and will be shielded from clotting. Let's all keep that precious little boy and his healing at the forefront of our minds and thoughts. Thanks, and keep praying!
