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.

For those that were unaware (which is probably everyone here), my wife will
be having our 5th child in March.  Unfortunately, it appears he's got a
birth defect that will mean surgery right after he's born.  If you can, we'd
appreciate prayer over the next month and a half that everything will be ok.


Here's the email my wife sent out to our families:

He has been diagnosed with Tracheal-Esophageal Fistula meaning his breathing
and eating tubes are fused together and there seems to be a little hole
between the 2 allowing him to get some fluid to his tummy and lungs at the
same time.
There are some reflux issues as well, so I am going to be induced and they
plan on having my OB, the specialist, the pediatrician and a slew of nurses
there when he's born too.
Most likely he will be transferred to Children's hospital depending on how
bad the damage is and he will have surgery withing the first 48 hrs of his
life.
