Baby update Thursday morning

I'll try to post 3 times a day, schedule and time permitting. Most will be "nothing new" because that's how it's been. Savanna delivered baby Keaton (this is the name they had for him) yesterday. He is 9 lb 5 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. They thought he might have a problem with his bowel, but xrays show that is fine. They did discover a hole in his right lung, which allows air to go where it should not be. They are hoping it will heal on its own. He's been in NICU, and she reports he is very strong. Both mom and baby have received a blessing, and are well. She wants us to come to the hospital again today, but we don't know what time. I have felt to not cancel my plans and keep moving forward until I need to adjust them. Though this can and may happen quickly, it feels more like a marathon than a sprint. We appreciate your faith and prayers on our behalf--please don't stop! I know I have come to the end of my resources, so we really need them!!! Love, Emily
