Dalton's Here! Prayers Needed

UPDATED #2: Dalton's surgery was successful and went as planned!  He took his first bottle today!  Also, the doctors aren't seeing anything wrong with his brain!!  Oh y'all...seriously...this is the amazing work of God!  Prior to birth, it appeared his brain ventricles were enlarged, not good at all...a serious issue.  Amazingly, the doctors aren't seeing it now!!  For obvious reasons, Kara hasn't been taking the time she needs to heal and is feeling it now.


UPDATE: Dalton is having heart surgery, tomorrow, Friday 2/3 at 7am.  No other official updates, but according to Andrew's review of the pictures from Kara's blog, he reports that Dalton really isn't "hooked up" much at all (meaning, he doesn't have near the number of tubes, wires, attachments that the many in the NICU have).  I say that is good news! Kara has been released from Northside, and Dalton has been transferred to Egleston (Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory...all the same place, basically).  Continue to pray for this wonderful family and sweet Dalton.   

Picture "stolen" from Kara's blog...thanks, Kara!
First - we have a huge reason to be Thankful today!  Jonathan and Kara welcomed beautiful little boy, Dalton, to the world last night.  And boy is he a fighter!  I am just going to give you the link and let you hear it from Jonathan and Kara - but let me warn you - you will cry. 

And let's not forget, he is not "in the clear yet."  He has a tough, uphill climb ahead.  Keep this sweet family in your prayers.
