welcome to the world

Benjamin was born on Thursday, March 27.  Shortly after he was born we learned that he suffered from a congenital defect known as Esophageal Atresia, which means his stomach forms into a pouch instead of connecting to his stomach.  He was transferred to Children's Hospital and is currently (5 p.m. on Friday) undergoing surgery to repair the condition.

Jerry and Melanie will use this site to update information as it is available.

Please pray that the surgery is a success with no complications.
