Everyone is okay! (But Samuel still has fatal concerns)

Samuel Arthur Rowbotham was born into this world weighing 6 pounds, 6 ounces and 18.5 inches long! Kristy said he is a fighter. He came out and was trying so hard to cry and Kristy said he muffled some little squeaks. She got to hold her precious baby boy.

Samuel is being transported to the other hospital, but Kristy is staying at the new hospital. Samuel has a few concerns, some they knew about, and some they did not. He only has one eye and one ear, his head is very large (the same size as his body), the cleft lip and palate, his tongue is being depressed so that he can breathe, and more.

But right now he is BREATHING on his own!

As soon as I heard Kristy's voice, before I knew whether or not she'd delivered or if the baby survived, a certain feeling of calmness was evident in her voice. She sounded the best she has sounded since July 11, 2008. As she recounted the details of her son's birth, I could hear the tenderness and love she felt for her baby as well as the peace she felt with the unknown fate. She said she is feeling peaceful and Jeff is feeling peaceful and if Jesus wants to bring Samuel home, they are both okay with that.

We are just asking for more prayer. Praying that Kristy will have a speedy and healthy recovery from her surgery, that Jeff, Kristy, Regina, Tom and the rest of their family will continue to feel comfort and peace, and that Samuel is comfortable and Jesus wraps his arms around this child and takes care of him while he is with us on Earth and if he chooses to bring him home with Him.

Kristy is sad that Samuel had to go to a different hospital but happy that Dawson can come and visit her, as she misses him very much already.

Kristy, you are an amazing, amazing mommy. Dawson and Samuel are very blessed that God picked you to be their mommy. I love you, friend.
