Re: Prayers needed for new baby

Sorry to leave you all hanging, but here's the update...

Andrew Lee Crawford was born on March 17th, 2011.  Weight: 9lb 4oz / Length:
21.75in

As for the potential problems, I am REALLY HAPPY to say that after being
pulled away for tests, he passed them all with flying colors!  Both my wife
and him were released from the hospital on Friday and and have been at home
resting up.

Thank you all so much for your prayers.

   John
