Update - September 20th at 9:30 a.m.

I apologize for the lack of posts in the past three days. I know that you've all still been checking "Bennett's Site", but if you haven't, you'll want to catch up on the posts there.

Bennett's situation in the past few days has reinforced the NICU experience...some up days, some down days. Thankfully, Bennett's down days haven't been too critical of late, but there have been some distressing experiences for Travis and Kelly.

As you may have noticed with yesterday's posts, Bennett has now been battling this situation for 31 days. Please pray for his little body to keep fighting, and pray for his full recovery. Let's also not forget to pray for Travis, Kelly, the grandparents, the aunts, and the uncles. This has certainly been a most exhausting experience for them...physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Let's just say extra prayers during the next couple of days that they will be provided with the strength, courage, and determination they need to get through the coming days.

I've gotten a few more photo wishes this week, but I would LOVE to be able to deliver a few more this weekend. So, if you haven't sent a photo wish to Travis and Kelly, please consider doing so. And for those of you who have sent photo wishes, encourage your friends to make and send them. They provide a definite boost to Travis and Kelly, because seeing your faces and your wishes is so special to them. I'll be delivering another set to the hospital this weekend, but I'll likely be going on Saturday night. So, please try to make and send your photo wishes by Saturday at noon.

I should be able to post regularly during the next few days. Let's stay in this battle with Travis and Kelly until we can (hopefully) see them take Bennett home. Take care!

Verse for the moment: "Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, 'Be strong, do not fear; your God will come...'" - Isaiah 35:3
