UPDATE—Ethan Delivered

Hi everyone, this is short as I'm home to shower and shave, then it's back to the hospital. Ethan Jeremiah was born this morning at 12:51 a.m. His tiny body is a mere 2.2 lbs. and is 13 inches long. He was stillborn, but Monica did very well through the breeched delivery. Sorry I can't provide more information right now but I need to get back to my wife's side.

Thank you everyone who is praying for us, calling and sending encouraging notes. We're so blessed to have so many people praying on our behalf. We'll probably update the blog a few more times after we get home and have had time to heal.

Hey Ryan and Monica,
Though I can't imagine or know what you have been through and are going through, I know God can since he experienced the death of his son as well, so I will continue to pray, along with my small group (Drew and Val's) that he will give you strength in your pain, and use the life and even the death of Ethan for his glory and purposes. I will also pray that you may sense his presence and love in personal ways. I know you are impacting people for the kingdom through your dependence on Christ, and I thank you for your trust in him and letting his love shine through you. Let our group know if we can lighten your load in any way.
JUDE 1:21-Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
We'll keep lifting you up to Him,
