Update - September 28th at 5 p.m.

If you haven't already, please read the latest post on "Bennett's Site" by clicking the link at the top of the right column.

Bennett has had a small setback today, but thankfully, it looks like he has stabilized for the time being. Please keep praying for his little body and its ability to breathe on its own. The best outcome for Bennett is 1) to avoid re-intubation and 2) to come off of the CPAP as soon as possible. So, let's pray for that outcome.

Also, Travis and Kelly met with the pediatric neurologist today. I won't repeat what was said on the latest post, because I don't want to chance inaccuracy. The bottom line is that we all need to send up prayers for Bennett's neurological functioning. We also need to begin thinking about other ways we can continue to support Travis and Kelly.

One way that we'll all probably be able to support Travis and Kelly in the future is by helping with any financial needs they may have. Many of you have asked about helping them with more substantial expenses (hospital costs, etc), so I'm working on finding out exactly how we might be able to help in that area. I have no idea what their needs might be at this point, but I will try to uncover those needs in the next week or two.

So, in the immediate term, please keep praying, paging, posting, and sending photo wishes for this precious family. You can also consider sending gift cards for their short-term expenses. Finally, begin thinking about how you might be able to help with any financial needs they have.

Take care, and keep praying!
