NATHANIEL JEAN PHILLIPS

On Wednesday of this week, we received a call from our son that they were going to hospitalize our daughter-in-law, Kristina because her blood pressure was high and she was having headaches. She was experiencing preeclampsia and if she got worse, they would induce labor. Since we had 6 more weeks before our grandson's due date, we made plans to drive to Georgia Thursday. Even though the 14 hours trip was very hard on Gary, we were so glad we came when we did. Early Friday morning, they did an emergency C-section and Nathaniel came into the world weighing in at 4.7 lbs. He lungs are immature and so has had trouble breathing. Today, they had to insert a chest and put him on a breathing machine. Please pray for this precious little guy! Pray for Kristina and Brian as well. Kristina is recovery well from her surgery and will probably be released from the hospital tomorrow. It will be very hard on her to leave her baby in the hospital.
